Take a look at "port triggering". This is a feature in the Linksys WRT54G, 
which uses uClinux under the hood. When an outbound connection is seen to a 
particular port, a port forwarding rule is installed for the internal 
client. I'm guessing this is done by monitoring the iptables logs and 
installing a custom chain on demand that's removed after a period of 
inactivity.
