I do this sort of thing for a web server, which sits behind the modem on a small network. You would have to use your firewall to route all packets sent to a particular port to the machine running the remote X session, I believe. You can specify the screen X will use at startup, with X :1 -query remoteclient. This will make X listen to 6001.
