unfortunately, i can't help you configure pcanywhere, but i do have quite a
bit of experience with portfwd now, so i may be able to help with that.

first, are you sure that portfwd is running?
    type "pidof portfwd" and it should return a series of id's if portfwd
    is in fact running or if you used the binary rpm to install it, you can
    also type "/etc/rc.d/init.d/portfwd status" to see if it is running.

second, have you opened a hole in your firewall for the relevant ports?
    check your incoming and outgoing rules firewall rules, i believe that
    the relevant ports you will need to open are (as listed in
    http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/tips/urls/txt/port_numbers): 

    5631/tcp   pcANYWHEREdata
    5631/udp   pcANYWHEREdata
    5632/tcp   pcANYWHEREstat
    5632/udp   pcANYWHEREstat

and lastly, how about posting your portfwd config file so we can take a look
at how you have that set up.
