I'm not sure I understand, certainly.

What do the port numbers matter?   When doing static or dynamic NAT, it's 
usually the IP addresses that people are bothered about.

I suggest either:

1. Give us a specific example of what you want to happen, showing us the 
source & destination addresses & port numbers for machines A & B, so we can 
see exactly what you want to do, or

2. Show us what wouldn't work using a standard 1-1 NAT ruleset, or a standard 
"masquerade everything behind one IP" ruleset
