Yup. Done it. Works great.

/usr/local/bin/ssh -c blowfish -g -C -L 5900:target.host:5904 -L
5910:target.host:5910 -2 -N -f target.host

That has the disadvantage of making you log in. I could probably change that,
but I haven't had the motivation.

You just connect to your local address on 5900 (in this case), it tunnels to
the target host and attempts to connect on a local port 5904 there. When you
connect, you might have to specify the encodings so it doesn't default to
something inefficient when it detects that it's connecting to localhost.
