Ahh that is the trick...
Port forwarding yes!

Open ports on the router only SSH.

then you can connect to a nated pc  inside your network
(in this example I use 192.168.1.101) with the following commands

1) ssh <user>@<ssh-server-address> -L 5901:192.168.1.101:5900
2) vncviewer 127.0.0.1::5901

Of course a little more info is required, like how to use ssh from windows.

P.S.  If you are using tightvnc-viewer on unix you do both of the above 
as vncviewer 192.168.1.101:1 -via <user>@<ssh-server-address>
wouldn't this be a cool feature for realvnc under windows though?
