You do not have to manually forward any ports. Your quote from the Apple KB is taken out of context. Specifically, that article addresses networks with robust firewalls that support policies where automatic port configuration isn't allowed. In these cases, the firewall administrator would have to explicitly allow FaceTime... but this doesn't apply your your average retail purchase router.
FaceTime uses uPnP, which is supported on just about any router you'd buy for under $200 at your local retailer. If you're able to play XBox or PS3 online, your iPhone should connect a FaceTime call without trouble.
