Off the top of my head, you'll need to poke a hole through the firewall (reverse proxy) to let inbound queries through.
Reverse proxy isn't NAT, but something you can do with iptables (and I'm maybe ipchains too).

I don't recall the port settings offhand, but you should be able to check the gnutella setting for a port to listen to.  Limewire is using port 6346, and thing gnutella would be the same.
