Personally, I'd never allow an app or device to manage my firewall, but if you don't want to forward ports manually, or place your PS3 in the DMZ, open ports for a peer to peer app, etc, then the Airport may not be the best choice for you.

That said, its only a minor nuisance in the grand scheme of things - it's not something you are going to have to deal with on a daily basis.
It does not support Upnp but it does support NAT mapping protocol, which will automatically open ports for software such as Torrent software (uTorrent) and other apps.
