Yes. Appletalk does not use IP (it uses DDP), so 'redirecting a port' will not do that job. For file services you can use AppleShare/IP, which is supported by netatalk (and uses TCP-Sockets to port 548). Printing using AppleTalk shouldn't be possible via the Internet. If you want to do that, you have to tunnel DDP or to bridge the networks together.
