You could tunnel things over port 80 to each other (for net games etc). Sadly not easy to contact outside computers on blocked ports unless you can persuade someone outside the firewall to take the port 80 packets and turn them back to whatever...

As for ICS - you should be able to do things fine if you're not bridging - set the computer with the internet to run on the bluetooth network as 10.0.0.1, the slave computers as 10.0.0.x (from 2 to 254) with DNS 10.0.0.1 and gateway 10.0.0.1. The host computer will make the requests itself, using the one ip correctly allocated to it, and send things back over the bluetooth network using the 10.0.0.x address. So your college never sees the bluetooth network - it looks like just the one computer is making all the requests.
