After reading the Questions archives and FreeBSDDiary.org, I
setup a FreeBSD-3.2 box (test) with two NICs, rl0 (dedicated IP) 
and fxp0 for my internal (10.0.0.0) network. 

I have NATD and Firewall=OPEN working. Initially, I went with 
natd's redirect_port option, but realized it wasnt working for 
me. So I installed "rinetd" from the ports collection and 
redirected ports 22, 5631, 5632 and 65301 to a Win98 box on 
my private network (pc1/10.0.0.5). 

Just to make sure it was working, I also setup a Sambar Web
server on the Win98 (10.0.0.5) box and accessed it from over
the internet. I got this:

bash-2.03# sockstat |grep rinetd
root     rinetd     392    4 tcp    aa.bb.cc.dd.22     *.*
root     rinetd     392    5 tcp    aa.bb.cc.dd.80     *.*
root     rinetd     392    6 tcp    aa.bb.cc.dd.5631   *.*
root     rinetd     392    7 tcp    aa.bb.cc.dd.5632   *.*
root     rinetd     392   11 tcp    aa.bb.cc.dd.80     136.183.5.110.1093
root     rinetd     392   12 tcp    10.0.0.1.1073      10.0.0.5.80

and I was able to pull up some test pages on the Win98 (10.0.0.5)
box. Great!! This part is done. Then I tried pcAnywhere

and got:

bash-2.03# sockstat |grep rinetd
root     rinetd     392    4 tcp    aa.bb.cc.dd.22     *.*
root     rinetd     392    5 tcp    aa.bb.cc.dd.80     *.*
root     rinetd     392    6 tcp    aa.bb.cc.dd.5631   *.*
root     rinetd     392    7 tcp    aa.bb.cc.dd.5632   *.*

basically no connection and pcAnywhere times out waiting for a 
host to answer. When I initiate the pcAnywhere connection, I get 
this in /var/log/messages

May 17 15:34:26 test /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP aa.bb.cc.dd:22
from 136.183.5.110:1202

May 17 15:39:12 test /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP aa.bb.cc.dd:5632
from 136.183.5.110:1205

I also added this to /etc/serives to see if it made any difference:

pc-anywhere     5631/tcp
pc-anywhere     5631/udp
pc-anywhere     5632/tcp
pc-anywhere     5632/udp
pc-anywhere     56301/tcp
pc-anywhere     56301/udp

I believe it has to do something with port 22 and 5632 combination. 
Does anyone know how I go about fixing this. Thanks!
