Doesn't STUN require the client to contact a server in order to learn its IP address? If so it might conflict with one of the goals of the darknet approach, which is to prevent a single person or small number of people from being able to harvest a list of Freenet nodes. I believe nodes can already learn their IP addresses from their peers, so STUN is unnecessary as long as you have one peer with a static IP (or more than one if they spend a lot of time offline). UPnP, on the other hand, sounds useful - LimeWire contains a Java implementation so that might be a good starting point.
