Yes, Bonjour only works on your local subnet (broadcast domain).
Given what we know about your situation, I would suggest an
alternative approach: on the second b/g router, disable DHCP, (and
DNS, or any other duplicative services its providing) and wire it up
via one of the switch ports instead of via the WAN port. That should,
in effect, turn it into a poor mans Access Point.
This is going off of the assumption that the Powerbook's problem is
with the access point in your B/G/N router, and not with the router's
DHCP server or other service.
Barring that solution, if these are just consumer wireless routers,
they're not really just routers, but will also have some form of
firewall built in, in which case you're correct, you'd need port
forwarding. You'll also need to be able to either set a static DHCP
lease (router-side) or statically set the IP of the Powerbook. You
need to port forward ports 3283 and 5900 to the machine. That
solution will ONLY work for that one machine, port forwarding is a 1:1
mapping. If you put any other machines behind that router, you would
need to forward a pair of different ports and that's where things get
complicated really quickly. I would remove the "routing" portion from
the second device's duties as much as possible.
