Excellent overview, thanks
One thought: rather than forcing a reboot, you should be able to manually run the script you created in step one by running a
sudo /Library/StartupItems/NAT/NAT I've followed the instructions and done this on my machine, and it seems like everything works -- I am now using my Mac as a gateway to my DSL service while typing this from my laptop using the Mac as the network router.
