Nope.

Natd was broken in this respect from version 1.5 to 1.7.  Version
1.8 works ok and is available from

    http://www.awfulhak.org/natd/natd_1.8.tar.gz

or the original site:

    ftp://kn6-045.ktvlpr.inet.fi/pub/natd/natd_1.8.tar.gz

Natd has been brought into the main source tree and will be available
as standard as of the next release of FreeBSD.
