Hi Tom,

You may be interested in reading this document: 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bsd-softwire-stateless-port-index-analysis-00, 
 in particular:

   In each analyzed port derivation algorithm, an attacker may implement
   a redirection loop to detect a significant amount of allowed ports.
   For all monotonously scattered schemes, the whole Port-Set may be
   deduced by extrapolation while this is not applicable for contiguous
   port ranges (because no information about port bounds is leaked in
   the IPv4-translatable IPv6 address).

Cheers,
Med
