The natd manpage isn't exactly a model of clarity.  :-)  As long as the
address or interface option appears somewhere (command line or config file)
it works.  The natd code actually gloms command line parms back together so
they look kinda like they had come from a line of a config file and
processes them all the same way.

Speaking of ipnat... does it have the same kinds of features as natd in
terms of being able to monitor the streams on certain control ports (irc,
ftp, pptp, etc) and change the contents of the data stream to fix embedded
references to IP addresses and ports that are being NAT'd?
