A SOCKS server running on the client could handle UDP association
requests locally then forward TCP connection requests to the ssh
client acting as a SOCKS server.  Not trivial (and doesn't handle the
case you describe, and doesn't do UDP over SSH) but at least possible.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
