Officially, you use a custom masq fragment to open the port you need.

Something like...

mkdir -p /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq
echo '$OUT = allow_tcp_in(, 1)' > \
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/rc.d/init.d/masq/90InboundTCP10Custom
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event remoteaccess-update

Where is the port you wish to open.
