It's much the same problem as FTP. The reason FTP doesn't BORK is because most NAT gateways understand about the need to proxy FTP and because PASSIVE mode FTP doesn't have the same call-setup problems.
Passive mode has the same problems that PORT FTP does. It just pushes the problems to the server end. If you put a FTP server behind a NATed address, you'll need to proxy PASV (and also inverse to the client behind NAT, PORT needs none at the server end). -- Crist J.
