The AndAppStore server logs show a small range of IP addresses serving all G1 requests, which possibly backs your feeling that there is a NAT in the infrastructure somewhere.
It is possible that the small range are just caching proxies and any non-HTTP traffic goes direct to the net, but given that having a unique publicly accessible IP address per phone would be a bot-net writers dream I'd say that listening sockets on a G1 are going to be pretty much useless as a means for push notifications.
