could they be a holdover from the dynamic NAT states created when NAT was 
enabled ? a reboot should clean them however.

with NAT turned on, you cant have a connection initiated from the WAN to 
the LAN without port forwarding the relevant ports. with NAT turned off 
however, bidirectional connections are possible. on a few of the m0n0walls 
i have at home, i've turned off NAT on LAN to be able to do just this.
