I do not see why this should not be doable. As far as I know you can run
GRE and IPX and IP tunnels over IPSEC. Setup IPSEC, then tunnel IPX
across the IPSEC/VPN connection. 

The standard IP tools, should be able to create such tunnels no problem.
I have only ever set up GRE and IP tunnels (Not IPX) but don't see the
roadbloack to IPX.
