VNC can be made safe if you're running a computer as router which has a secure shell server running. This is explained pretty good at the AT&T site/faq. I'll try to dig it up if anyone's interested.

I wouldn't want to run a VNC server on a public network without encryption. If you send the password to start a VNC session it's sent unencrypted. I.e. easy for people who know stuff about it to sniff it out and take over your computer......

However routing a specific port to a certain computer behind the router should be easy, should be in the router's manual.

VNC uses a standard port number of 5901 or thereabouts, isn't it?
