Sure.  I wrote and submitted a netfilter connection tracking module for
UPNP discovery back in February.  You can find it on the netfilter-devel
list.

Unfortunately, the powers that be were totally uninterested, because
they're working on a framework to move all such connection tracking to
user-space.  Of course, said framework doesn't appear to have seen the
light of day yet.  :-(
