Oh, quoting from /usr/src/linux/net/ipv4/ip_masq_ftp.c:
 * Look at incoming ftp packets to catch the response to a PASV command.
 * When we see one we build a masquerading entry for the client address,
 * client port 0 (unknown at the moment), the server address and the server port.
 * Mark the current masquerade entry as a control channel and point the new
 * entry at the control entry.  All this work just for ftp keepalive across
 * masquerading.

so it should work....
