You don't have to get the other end to set up the ssh tunnel. If one of the machines at the other end runs an ssh server, it can be configured so that you ssh to the server and your ssh client sets up the tunnels. You will, of course need to forward an open port on the router to the ssh port on the machine running the ssh server. I've done this in the past and even tunnelled via a Linux server to Windows machines. If you don't like that approach, it is possible to achieve similar results over SSL using stunnel and client certificates, but ssh is easier to set up.
