Yes, you can run any program you want thru the ssh tunnel.  

man ssh

Where in it states:

 ssh [-1246AaCfgkMNnqsTtVvXxY] [-b bind_address] [-c cipher_spec]
         [-D port] [-e escape_char] [-F configfile] [-i identity_file] [-L
         [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-l login_name] [-m mac_spec]
         [-O ctl_cmd] [-o option] [-p port] [-R
         [bind_address:]port:host:hostport] [-S ctl_path] [user@]hostname
----->  [command]

That command bit is what you want.
