I can tell you that, when I was testing my PIX, we dialed a laptop into a
local ISP (and got a dynamic IP), and used the Cisco IPSec software to
connect to our Pix with no problem.
When you configure the Pix, you will have (probably) an RFC 1918 address on
the internal interface (i.e., 192.168.1.x). You would then also assign a
DIFFERENT RFC 1918 address to the incoming IPSec connection (we used
172.16.x.x); the incoming IPSec is then assigned this 2nd address. The Pix
will automatically route between them.
