If you get some headphones (not even music needed, though it helps) it will make them think twice about trying to talk to you because the interruption is so much more noticable. It works quite well for me.

I sometimes get "Hey, you look busy!" as they come into my office.

A couple of days ago, a coworker came in to chit-chat and I kind of stayed focused on my computer screen (while showing some modicum of politeness by saying "uh-huh" every once in a while while she talked). Eventually she said "wow, you're really busy, aren't you? What're you working on?"

I'm working from home today.
