Yes, I have done that against ipsec-tools/racoon so it should work against 
swan. 

I used Nokia's VPN manager to create Client configurations and SSM server to 
convert those to the symbian format. I also deployed configurations and 
enrolled certificates with Nokia's SSM.

So, Nokia's VPN client is working against other ipsec VPN's fine, you just 
need to make sure you swan supports nat-t 03 and everything should be fine.

Creating configurations without Nokia's SSM and GW manager is probably the 
biggest issue, client config seems to be in xml format when it's exported 
from VPN manager. After converting it to symbian format, is seems to be 
base64 or similar encoded xml, didn't have time to check that.

Cisco is going to support Nokia's mobile VPN and other vendors too, as fas as 
I know.

Nokia SSM software can be evaluated for free (at least in Finland) until 
september, maybe you shoud try it in order to find out how to make configs 
without it?
