I seriously doubt that there are any open access points where the DHCP server gives out real, public IPv4 addresses. Therefore, any connections from the Internet would not get to your machine. You can, however, log into a remote machine. If the person who has the remote machine sets up a username and password for you, and you know her / his IP address, you can use OS X to connect to her / his machine (assuming that she / he isn't behind IP NAT). Be sure that if she /he turns on Windows file sharing, that it is turned off immediately after you are finished, as it is horribly insecure.
