Subject:   Can I route TCP/UDP traffic by destination port?

I live behind a cable modem, and Cox Communications appears to
firewall ports 137-139, among others, both ways.  It's fine with me
that my ports 137-139 are protected from outside snooping (though I
run my own firewall anyway), but I'd like the ability to send out
requests on them and get answers back.  I run a VPN to a machine which
has no such out-of-my-hands firewall in its way...

Can I possibly tell my FreeBSD box to send TCP/UDP traffic bound for
ports 137-139 via a different route than all other traffic, and can I
route responses back similarly (the other end of the VPN is also a
FreeBSD box)?  It would be really nice if I could do this without
using the VPN as a pathway, but I think I could handle it either way.
