If you search the freebsd-questions archive, you'll probably find a message or two which specifies the exact port you need to '-redirect_port' with natd, as per natd's manpage (i remember seeing two posts about it a few months ago). If an archive search doesn't help, run tcpdump and see at which port battle.net is trying to connect to your gateway machine. BTW, this is a questions for -questions, not -newbies.
