In case of IAX phones, this is not appliacble. IAX uses same port for both control and voice.

I have not tried CISCO phones, but I beleive you do need port forwarding if they are SIP phones. Otherwise, they will not accept calls. At least this is the case with Polycom phones.

As a followup to my own post, AFAIK, my comments apply to SIP clients,
but you always have to forward the ports to the asterisk server...

This is not technically true. For instance, you can take a
Cisco 79X0 and put it behind NAT and it will work without
port forwarding. You do, however, have to program the phone
to enable the NAT features. (There are two, I can't remember
their names, though.) I have generally left the WAN IP
address blank, with no noticable ill effects, but that might
not be a good idea.

Also, I believe that you can do this with multiple phones, so
long as you use different port numbers for each phone (5061,
5062, etc)
