OK.

If I understand your context (what may not be true), your problem is
that you have to route packets against destination port and that MARK
capabilities are too limited for you to have Netfilter communicate
within policy routing.

So, have you considered using ROUTE target (from patch-o-matic), that
allows one to specify a specific route for a given packet within
Netfilter. With it, you could implement rule just like this :

	iptables -t mangle -A POSTROUTING -p tcp --dport $myservice \
		-j ROUTE --gw $myservicegw
