I maybe misunderstanding a little but the 'call' program will do this but
you need to define the path each time you use it.

call bpq0 oe9xxx oe5arp-1

I have a simalar setup here, i can set routes like you have but call just
does not use them.

pi1goe is our local area node situated 2 miles away from here, the machine
with my radio ports has an interface call is pa3gcu-15 its connected to
another machine vai ethernet using via bpq for netrom and ax25.
To call pi1goe via the router i need to type;

call bpq0 pi1goe pa3gcu-15

There is also a small program for cross port digipeating called axdigi,

I found a few referances to it with a web search,

ftp://orkinos.cmpe.boun.edu.tr/pub/Linux/apps/ham/ax25/

You might want to try 

ftp://hes.iki.fi/pub/ham/linux/ax25

as well.

IP_FORWARDING is i belive irelavant for what you need.
