Is there a way in which I can automate port forwarding on the mac?
I want to forward a computer to port 22, and my purpose of doing is so I can ssh from a remote location, making ssh easier.
If so, can someone give me the code? Let's say the computer that I want to forward to port 22 (and control via my remote computer) has the ip of 192.168.0.0. What would I write as a command?
How can this happen?

I am pretty sure when you select remote log in in the sharing preference pane, OS X opens the port on the router programmatically using NAT-PMP. Have you tried disabling that on the airport and rebooting?
Also be sure you are not editing a profile that is not active on the Airport. I have fallen into that trap once or twice every so often.
One way to do what you want here is to add a port mapping in your Airport Extreme that points a non-standard remote port (e.g. 8022) to port 22 on your local 10.0.1.104 machine. Then, you can specify a different port in your SSH client (e.g. '-p 8022') to gain remote access.
You could also SSH into 10.0.1.100 first, and then SSH into 10.0.1.104 from that machine.

I'm pretty sure I understand what you are trying to accomplish, but saying "I want to forward a computer to port 22" does not make any sense. You are trying to forward incoming packets addressed for port 22 from your router to your Mac, is what you mean to say (I am assuming). In any event, port forwarding is done in your router's settings, not your Mac's.
You can look up port forwarding steps for your router at http://setuprouter.com/.
