This should do what you want 

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp --dport 69 -j REDIRECT --to-port 2112

@Raspizdyay: Did you list the correct table ? iptables -t nat -L ? – Iain♦ Aug 10 '12 at 15:03
but why nat? there is no nat on my computer it is just an imput – Raspizdyay Aug 12 '12 at 9:11
@Raspizdyay: Port forwarding is address translation and takes place in the PREROUTING chain of the NAT table. – Iain♦ Aug 12 '12 at 9:28

As well as the port forwarding, you also need an extra module loaded to handle tracking tftp connections. This can be done in testing by simply running

modprobe nf_conntrack_tftp

Making it permanent depends on the distro in use, but you generally just need to put it in /etc/modules so it will be loaded at boot.
