all you have to do is setup port forwarding from an
alternate port to 5060. we're doing that on our server.
works like a charm.

e.g.

iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING 1 -i <your-interface> -d <your-ip-addr> \
   -p udp -m udp --dport 6060 -j DNAT --to-destination <your-ip-addr>:5060

this sets up port 6060 to forward to 5060.
