You may use the 'DNAT' facility of iptables firewall package on your gateway to forward FTP [control] port of your server to outside world. You could also use, for FTP control connection, the port forwarding option provided by xinetd. However, in that case only the one of FTP modes (the active one) will work, so clients which themselves are behind the NAT on their side of connection may have problems connecting to FTP server. I am not sure about such problems when using DNAT - when you are using SNAT for an FTP _client_ behind the firewall, the special iptables helper module solves that problem, but I am not sure that this module works for DNAT also.
