It's simple, really. At ISI, for example, we have the 128.9/16 subnet. 
We use a class C inside that block, and relay it over the tunnel to the 
remote site. Thus, at the remote site, everything looks like your are at 
the main site: you get an 128.9/16 IP address, etc. The NAT box is 
invisible.

The down side for a normal home user is that you need someone that has a 
globally routable block (like 128.9/16) that is willing to hand you a 
sublock, and let you run one end of the relay on their system. It can't 
magically make your NAT'ed machines globally routable.
