Its dirrrty, but could help here in case you have some box on the
usual network that can run a service.

This service would be openvpn, listening on i.e. a tcp-port so 
a openvpn-client started on the box behind the nat should be 
able to connect to the listening openvpn.
Over this tcp-channel openvpn can send layer 2 packets.. so the
box running the openvpn-service should be able to bridge everything
from the lan into the tunnel where the natted box can pick it
up (and the other way around).
