I think the reverse connection uses port 5500, so you'd want to do
ssh -R 5500:localhost:5500 {server}
and then run
vncconnect localhost
on the server. This will cause problems if multiple users are trying to
do this on the same server. They'd each have to set up their VNC
viewers to listen on a different port.
Using -R is the key, though. That tells the SSh server to create a
listener on port 5500 and redirect all of that traffic to port 5500 on
the SSh client. -L does the opposite-- tells the SSh client to create a
listener on port {whatever} and redirect all of that traffic to port
{whatever} on the SSh server.

Throughout its 18-year history, RSA Conference consistently attracts the
world's best and brightest in the field, creating opportunities for Conference
attendees to learn about information security's most important issues through
interactions with peers, luminaries and emerging and established companies.
