My parents' tenants share a connection with us, and their kids do nothing but BitTorrenting gigabytes of god-[bleep] crap a day and hogging up all the bandwidth. Can I do anything to block them from doing that but enable gaming anyways? I'm using a Zoom X6 modem with VoIP abilities.

not really, no. Most P2P programs such as BitTorrent, if they can't connect via the ports they want to connect, they'll fall back to Port 80, which is your internet traffic stream. Block Port 80 and you'll effectively have no internet.

Anyway, your parents are the landlords and the kids are the kids of the tenants. This may be an issue you should take up with the parents who are responsible for what the kids do. If they argue, it's your router and your internet so simply pull the switch.
