I don't know about dpkg-ftp, but 'dftp' can run through a firewall. The only firewall I ever tested it with was the "Eagle Secure Gateway", but I suspect most function similarly. Note, however, that I haven't run than piece of the code for many months and may not be as stable as the rest of 'dftp'.
