Site-to-Site means two gateways establishing a connection. The two gateways have fixed IP addresses. I have this scenario working with Strongswan on a Linux gateway connecting to a Checkpoint VPN-1. Roadwarriors means a client with unknown IP connects to a gateway (the Checkpoint in you case). I believe the authentication protocol used by Checkpoint with Securemote/Secureclient is non-standard so I'm not sure you can connect to it easily with an Open Source solution.
