Could you post your ipsec.conf and the relevant bits of your Openswan log?
(Debug levels preferably 'none').

I don't want to inconvenience you too much (don't want to get into
a Mac vs Win fight :-) but do you get the same on a Windows client?
Mac OS X uses a floating port, unlike Windows, and this floating port
is said to be 'unreachable' according to your logs. That's why I am
wondering if Windows has the same problem.

And then there's Openswan bug #773 if you have:

  right=%any
  rightprotoport=17/%any
  rightsubnet=vhost:%priv,%no
