FreeBSD Firewall + NAT Traversal + IPsec

I do this with the cisco VPN client (to PIX), 
I am firewalling with pf. 

Client --- FreeBSD firewall+NAT using pf --- internet - PIX

The only problem I had was that isakmp needs to come from 
port 500 as well as go to port 500 so I needed to add a rule 
To stop pf changing the source port. My nat rules are: 
nat on $ext_if inet proto { tcp, udp } from $int_net port = 500 \ 
	to any -> ($ext_if:0) port 500
nat on $ext_if from $int_net to any -> $ext_addr1

Havent tried checkpoint though.
