I think there are two easy and one difficult solution for your problem.
easy 1) You could mirror the OpenPKG stuff on a machine behind the
firewall (e.g. using rsync). Using a mirror has quite a few other
advantages.
easy 2) The OpenPKG people could provide access to the packages over HTTP
to support "firewall impaired" users. Actually, this is easy for
the _users_, but probably not for the OpenPKG people.
difficult) Find the right configuration for IPFilter/FTP. I do not think
that a ftp proxy can help here. I will see, whether i can
reproduce your problem.
