I'm not at all sure, but I can't see, why the following shouldn't work. 
Put this inside your ipnat.rules (the file for ipnat to read).

map de0 192.168.0.0/16 -> aa.bb.cc.dd/32 portmap tcp/udp 20000:30000
map de0 192.168.0.0/16 -> aa.bb.cc.dd/32

Where (obviously) you'd replace 'aa.bb.cc.dd' with you external ip and 
'de0' with you nic name (run 'ifconfig -a').
