Even when forwarding is correctly set up, your internal machine also
needs to accept connections forwarded to it, and it needs to accept
them from external IPs.

So please also check if direct connections are accepted from internal
machines, if not change your setup properly. You can use nmap for that.

Then run tcpdump on the internal machine and check if forwarded packets
reach the internal machine.

If not, ask in the dd-wrt forums.

If yes, ask in the asterisk forums.

I don't see how this is Gentoo related, except you installed asterisk
in Gentoo by means of portage.
