NA(P)T, or "port mapping" if you have to, is just fine and catches the spirit properly. If you need a car analogy, you can't move the piers/ports either, only the ships. That said, DNAT is exactly what I gave as one way of resolution. From there, one can use --dport(s) as needed, but then that's not a full 1:1 NAT anymore.
