No, the Airport Base Station does not support UPnP.
Have you ever read the UPnP spec for NAT boxes? It's a monster. UPnP is
a real beast. XML in HTTP over UDP multicast. Yikes, give me a break.
The UPnP spec covers more than just port mappings, it goes in to all
aspects of configuring the gateway. It is, to say the least, overkill
for something as simple as creating a mapping. Unfortunately, there
aren't any other alternatives right now.
