Most current mountain bike front derailers work with either top pull or bottom pull cable routing.

With external bottom brackets, you can change the spacer behind the drive side cup to adjust the chainline. If you have 2 spacers on the drive side, try removing one spacer or you can get thinner spacers from your local shop for a couple of bucks. You can get them on-line but shipping will boost the price several fold.
