Federation would be disabled by default to prevent metadata leaks. The server would be globally addressable via a Tor .onion service (provided by Orbot on Android), regardless of your network configuration.
To me the most exciting part of .onion services isn't the "anonymity" aspect, which is looking very weak at the moment btw, but the ability to punch holes through almost any firewall or NAT. To run a globally addressable .onion service you don't need to forward ports on a router, or hope you aren't behind carrier grade NAT. It "just works" in almost any network configuration, as long as the Tor network isn't blocked.
