Not being smart, but you could setup an openbsd NAT gateway
with funky nat and filtering in about 30 minutes,
including the install time.
Just get the base, (you can do the ports later)
setup some basic pf and nat rules and you can do your
port address translation or whatever else you want
later, very easy syntax to learn.
If you did want to go down the linux route, install debian,
depending on what version you install, you may have to recompile
the kernel with ip masq support.
Anywho most of the information you require could
be found at http://www.fifi.org/doc/iptables/html/NAT-HOWTO.html
