You can get a pretty good firewall running Vicomsoft SoftRouter or Sustainable Softworks IPNetRouter on an old PowerMac. IPNR is more flexible, but SR may be more reliable.

The only problem running servers though a NAT firewall I've seen is that the web server may get unhappy if its own IP address isn't the same as the address associated with the site's host name.
This brings up the whole "split DNS" problem. I haven't found a good solution to this yet.
