It depends on what kind of remote access you want.

Do you want simple SSH remote control? If so, just enable "Remote Access" in the "Sharing" part of the System Preferences. This will give you simple ssh capabilities into your Mac from anywhere else -- just be sure to forward the correct ssh ports to your Mac from your router, if needed.

Do you need to be able to "see" what's going on, like screen sharing? If so, check out OSXvnc (available from versiontracker.com). You can then use any old VNC client on the Windows side of things to remotely control your Mac. Again, forward the correct vnc ports from your router to Mac if necessary.
