ppp nat does port redirection.  From man 8 ppp
nat port proto targetIP:targetPort[-targetPort] aliasPort[-aliasPort]
    [remoteIP:remotePort[-remotePort]]
    This command causes incoming proto connections to aliasPort to be
    redirected to targetPort on targetIP.  proto is either ``tcp'' or =
``udp''.

I find the set filter alive and set filter dial features very useful
for dial up modems.
