So far MSN6/iptables works for me.
Filetransfer (and the like) can be a problem. You could try to install a
socks5 server and let MSN use it. Once NEC had a free one.. (I still have
the old source somewhere if you can't find it.)
But that won't solve the problem of webcams. Did you load the H323
contrack-/nat-modules ?

About UPnP, I found something at http://linux-igd.sourceforge.net. I think
that might be what you're looking for.
