This is probably already possible, you'll need to be able to identify 
the <insert your favourite game here> packets by port address.  So if 
you've got a Quake server on 10.0.0.2:5000 (internal) and a gateway on 
10.0.0.1 (internal) and 1.2.3.4 (external) with natd/ppp -alias 
running, you'd have an entry in your ppp.conf saying

alias port udp 10.0.0.2:5000 5000

Having said that, I've never gotten around to looking at the traffic 
that quake sends around the place, so I'm not sure that it has an 
identifyable port number.
