I've not tried this, but I think it should work. Why not run a cron job on the cpu at work (on your behalf and your factotum), that dials home, and once it authenticated itself, runs exportfs. On the home system you'd run a service that authenticates the incoming call and then posts the fd on /srv later you mount /srv/incoming to /n/someplace. The part i'm not sure of is the cron/factotum interaction.
