The sip-conntrack-nat patch in the lastest patch-o-matic-ng snapshot 
(http://ftp.netfilter.org/pub/patch-o-matic-ng/snapshot/) applies and 
builds on a vanilla 2.6.16 kernel tree at least. However I don't know 
how functional it is.

It is not a rumor, SIP conntrack and NAT support was actually added in 
kernel 2.6.18. Changelog-2.6.18 says :

  [NETFILTER]: Add SIP connection tracking helper

  Add SIP connection tracking helper. Originally written by
  Christian Hentschel <chentschel at arnet.com.ar>, some cleanup, minor
  fixes and bidirectional SIP support added by myself.

  [NETFILTER]: SIP helper: expect RTP streams in both directions

  Since we don't know in which direction the first packet will arrive, we
  need to create one expectation for each direction, which is currently
  prevented by max_expected beeing set to 1.
