It depends on your firewall, I guess, if it allows SSH through you
should be able to.  I access IMAP servers through SSH all the
time.  Here's my gnus-secondary-select-methods:

,-----
| (setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
|       '(
|         (nnml "spool")
|         (nnimap "personal"
|                 (nnimap-address "localhost")
|                 (nnimap-server-port 10143)
|                 (nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" "mail/*"))
|                 )
|         (nnimap "work"
|                 (nnimap-address "localhost")
|                 (nnimap-server-port 8143)
|                 (nnimap-list-pattern ("INBOX" "mail/*"))
|                 )
|         ))
`-----

And then I set up port forwards with SSH through those ports, ala:

    ssh -L10143:localhost:143 personal-server
    ssh -L8143:localhost:143 work-server

Hope that helps.
