The number is compiled into the kernel, and by default it's 4096. You can change this by editing the file /usr/src/linux/include/net/ip_masq.h. Look for #define PORT_MASQ_BEGIN and #define PORT_MASQ_END, change appropriately, and recompile. I made mine 8192 by changing PORT_MASQ_BEGIN to 57000 and PORT_MASQ_END to PORT_MASQ_BEGIN+8192. I don't know this for certain, but from the looks of the default numbers I suspect that PORT_MASQ_END must be no greater than 65535.
