[X4U] Remote Access to Mobile Laptop - Any Solution

I would like to find a way to access a laptop (for support purposes) which will be mobile and connecting from different Internet cafés or other locations where the preconfiguration of a NAT router to a known local IP number is not possible.

The laptop has dynamic IP software installed, so it will phone home with the current WAN IP number with which it would be connected to at any given time. But how, with Timbuktu, Apple Remote Access, VNC, GoToMyPC, or whatever, might I be able to access it behind a NAT router (what I assume to be the most likely scenario) which won't have any port forwarding set up, and with which we will have no administrative control?

Any hope?
