look at libalias.

(also  check the port for the divert based daemon that does the mss fixup.
I forget what it is called)

if you change a few bytes in the packet you can change the checksum 
appropriatly
without recalculating the whole thing. You should be able to find lots 
of examples from google,
and I'm pretty sure libalias does it..
