Ye, I have been scolded by Ken for misleading information :)
I was wrong, openswan-2.0.0 has no NAT-T support. It is a bit confusing since
when using the 2.6 kernel, the kernel support *is* there. It's just some
userland code that needs to be put in. This is going into the 2.1 branch, that
was started yesterday. 
If you really need nat-traversal, use openswan-1 (based on freeswan 1.9x)
