That's cool, Redhead! You remind me of how little I know about some of this stuff. I went ahead and did a search on ssh and this is what I found (a snippet from a thread on the subject):

localhost:~> ssh -L 20110:mail.domain.com:110 mail.domain.com

What that does is is ssh me into mail.domain.com, redirecting localhost
port 20110 to port 110 on mail.domain.com.

In other words, you connect to 20110 (or whatever) on your local machine and ssh forwards that to port 110 on the remote machine. There's no configuration required on the sshd side. Again, I haven't tried it, but I had heard that this was fairly common.
