slirp is supposed to automatically "NAT" this on FTP connections on port 
21, but perhaps there is something fishy with the version embedded in 
qemu..

When you FTP to the virtual address then this tranlation is required both 
ways (both PORT & PASV). The difference is mainly when you FTP to the real 
host address.
