Yup.  During the RTSP "negotiations" the client and server exchange
address/port pairs for RTP.  So your masquerading box needs to go in to the
RTSP payloads and change the IP addresses and ports there, then set up the
necessary (udp) port forwarding.

You could also use a proxy.

I think realmedia uses something akin to ftp passive mode (streaming data
sent across the initial tcp connection) - rtsp/rtp supports this, but that
does not mean that the servers or the clients do.
