You should be able to tunnel it through SSH, assuming you have CygWin on
the target box and have compiled or installed binaries of OpenSSH as an ssh
server on there. You would then need an SSH client on the client machine
that can do port-forwardin (SSH.com's or MIT's SecureCRT both do). However,
I've been told that the performance, adding encryption to Microsoft's
already demanding SMB protocol, is dismal.
There were some instructions I came across while searching for similar
content on Google, but don't have them off-hand. You can try the same.
Essentially, you'll issue a command like
ssh -L localport:targetmachine.mit.edu:targetport
yourusernameontarget@targetmachine.mit.edu
to set up local port forwarding, per port.
Also, others are using VPN setups, etc., but that requires Windows Server
on this end (or a compatible Linux VPN server).

PS: Neither of these are IS recommended or supported, of course. :)
