No. With 2 NICs you can either bridge, or route, but not both.
With 3 NICs you could bridge 2 of them together, and route between the bridged
pair and the 3rd NIC, however in this situation I think you would need to
have an IP address on the bridged pair, and you say you have only 1 public IP
address available?

With only 1 public IP address I think you are stuck as soon as you assign that
address to any machine except the VoIP server.
Why do people keep on coming up with protocols which don't work across NAT?
NAT works at OSI layer 3. Any higher level protocols should not care about
it.
