All you gotta do is forward the appropriate ports from the router to your internal IP address... It depends on the client you use, but to be safe just forward, say, 6881-6999 to your IP address. If more than one computer wants to use bittorrent you can forward a different range to that computer and set up its client to use said range.
Please see your router's documentation for more information on port forwarding.
