This is the main reason I stopped using the text client.

GUI clients usually can manage multiple torrents under one port. And can
be set to use any port. I pick different ports on each machine and set
up forwards to each one. Problem solved.

Still a pain in the ass, but I haven't finished adding NAT-PMP support
to my router firmware yet...
