Even though ftp (port 21) traffic may not be blocked. Modern firewalls rely on other means (i.e. stateful inspection) to determine if the traffic is allowed.
while it is easy to redirect ports, any firewall costing over a few hundred $, will still know that is non-web or non-ftp traffic and block it no matter what port it runs on. the only solution would be to find a type of traffic they do allow (e.g. SSH) and tunnel VNC inside this protocol.
