Plugdaemon (by Peter da Silva) is a no-brainer.
It runs as a daemon and is similiar to redir in Linux.

  % fetch http://www.taronga.com/plugdaemon.shar
  % sh plugdaemon.shar
  % make
  % su
  # ./plug 110 199.199.199.2
  #

Netcat (nc) in inetd.conf is also easy and can be wrapped with tcpd.
This is probably similiar to how most pop3 servers start anyway.

  #pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/libexec/popper popper -s
  pop3 stream tcp nowait nobody /usr/local/bin/nc nc -w 3 newpophost pop3

Socket is new to me.  Could you give us an example Bill?

Plug-gw requires installing FWTK which sounds like a lot of baggage
just to get a TCP proxy (probably why plugdaemon and redir exist).

IPFW fwd is no good unless you have cooperating FreeBSD 3.x/4.x servers
as Julian said.
