Running agk on linux, works great however with the recent addition of a firewall I've discovered broadcasting no longer works.

If I disable the firewall of course all is well, anyone know what tcp and/or udp ports need to be opened on the firewall to allow broadcasting to work without having to completely disable the firewall ?

Use a packet-sniffer like Wireshark, and you'll soon find what ports AppGameKit broadcast on.
