I have set up a couple of 10.3 systems with Remote Administration enabled, and I believe all necessary ports are open through the Firewall. VNC is also enabled.
These are behind a router, DynDNS redirects the Public IP Address.
The remote administration feature (VNC) is fine for a local LAN, but over the internet I believe the lack of performance in the VNC protocol will hurt you. The security can be handled by tunneling over ssh, but this will only make it even slower.
I think if you have to have graphical administration over the internet, the only viable solution right now is NX
Personally I do things with command line ssh, and the few times where I have to start something graphically, I use ssh -X and start it from the command line. It's also not very fast though
