No you can configure Amanda to work through any firewall (including the PIX) we 
do it here.
When you compile Amanda force it to use a specific range of ports.  Use the 
--with-tcpportrange=X,Y. Where X is the start and Y is the end of the range.  

Configure the PIX to support the standard client connect port (10080/udp) and 
the range and you're all set.

Is this to say that there is no way to back up a machine that is behind a 
firewall like a PIX box?
