Can translation of RADIUS packet attributes (e.g., NAS-Port-Type) be configured?

It's not really the same thing, since you're using whatever is on
nas_table instead of the original integer value.
Also, "%{sql:" doesn't really work with redundant sql modules instances.

Git log shows this

commit b74612c710d3d7e9fdfa4ebf8763877d25a0d3a9

    Added %{integer:...}

    Which takes an argument like %{integer:Event-Timestamp}, and prints
    it as an integer, bypassing all of the named enumeration and date/time
    expansion


It'd probably do what you want. If you want to use that, I recommend
using v2.1.x branch from git instead of 2.1.11.
