IPsec in general doesn't work well with connections behind NAT/PAT.
There is a IETF draft solution for which deals with this and SSH
Sentinel supports it.

It is if you patch FreeS/WAN to support NAT traversal. See
<http://open-source.arkoon.net/> for the patches or Super FreeS/WAN
<http://www.freeswan.ca> for a version of FreeS/WAN that already
contains this along with other useful patches.
