I haven't followed the thread closely, but surely the is VNC for the 
Mac. There are both VNC clients and servers for Mac OS X:

<http://www.redstonesoftware.com/osxvnc/>
<http://netmath.math.uiuc.edu/vnc/>
<http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/>

It is possible to open up the firewall for both Timbuktu and ARA 
access. And VNC, of course. I can't see how RDC could do this in an 
'automatic' fashion, since at least the server needs to be accessible 
from the outside for the client to be able to connect to it.
