more details on th games you will run would be nice, but, at first, yes, you can set up FBSD to aswer calls and get your friends in touch with your system, providing the TCP/IP AND IPX "signal". For X-Wing vs TIE fighter it will be ok, since someones' machine will be running the server side of the game.
