Well, it was solved very simply by installing the alternative kernel that comes with Mandrake PPC (it's supposed to be a vanilla PPC tree kernel). Now ftp works - in both PASV and PORT modes, with the firewall up, and from both the gateway and the NAT.

I suspect a problem in the RELATED state handling in the kernel's stateful inspection. There's nothing like a good bug to learn things... I'll certainly bugzilla all of this at Mandrake.

So, many thanks to all those who gave advice and help and pored over my tcpdumps.
