Amanda connects to random unpriviledged ports on the client.  These are my 
iptables rules on amanda clients:

-A INPUT -p udp -s $SERVER -d 0/0 --dport 10080 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp -s $SERVER -d 0/0 --dport 1025:65535 -j ACCEPT

The first one says "allow all UDP traffic incoming to port 10080 from 
$SERVER".  The second says "allow all TCP traffic incoming to any 
unpriviledged port from $SERVER".
