On your side:
Get a DDNS hostname.
Use the "Listen for Server" function of "Chicken of the VNC".
Open up port 5500 to your machine on your router.
On their side:
Have them install OSXVNC (now called "Vine Server").
When you need to work on their machine, you fire up "Chicken of the VNC" and have them use the Vine Server's "Reverse Connection" function to your DDNS hostname on port 5500.
I wouldn't want to use it to do everyday work, but it is good to help diagnose any problems. Usually, I have a parent actually move and click the mouse and I just observe the display.
