Ah, yes...now I understand you better. And the answer is yes you can. In 
order to do it you need to use SSH. Open port 22 on your firewalls, and 
you put ssh on a server. You can port forward to any port you want 
through ssh.

For example to connect from my house into our corporate network to my 
workstation i do:

ssh -L 5900:10.0.1.44:5900 zach "at" my_big_corporate_network.com

then i open VNC and use "localhost" as my server. There is a big section 
on the realvnc faq that hits this up.

Does this help?
