I suppose it depends on what flavor of VPN you're using. I use the MS VPN software - if you want to use the local IP of the machine you're connecting to, the trick is to make sure you enter the IP it's using for the VPN, not the normal LAN IP.
L2TP does work behind a NAT router as long as the router supports pass-through; I have a Linksys WRT54G, and they finally got that functionality working correctly in the latest firmware.
