ssh doesnt really have anything to do with ssl vpn or vpn in general for
that matter.  im not sure i fully understand what your asking, but yes,
you can tunnel traffic through ssh to other ports.  see the -L option of
ssh.  of course the ssh port will have to be both open and forwarded
from the router/firewall to the big bad internet.  opening up this
pretty much defeats the purpose of a vpn/firewall architecture though.
