The simple way is to run ssh on six different ports, and point each incoming port to a different machine. Easy.
This, to me, smacks of kludge. Then again, we're talking about NAT, which is itself a kludge.
Strictly speaking, I don't _have_ to use NAT at home, if I want to pay another $5 or so per IP address per month. I could probably even still put a very capable firewall in-line between my hosts and the rest of the network. OpenBSD's pf firewall will allow you do create a "magic wire" firewall: uses no IP addresses, bridges network segments and firewalls the two segments to your heart's content.
Sadly, as much as I bitch and moan about NAT, it's the path of least resistance. I use it at home. It's built into every damned home router you can find on the market.
And the minute I want to enable SSH into another one of my PCs at home, I'll be grumbling about it again. "I don't WANT to remember to go to 10022 for hosta or 10122 for hostb..." And yes, I know the joys of ~/.ssh/config. :)
