This would be great as we also use TeamViewer and it works very well.

TeamViewer is proprietary software, so porting is impossible unless the company does so.

It seems to be available for Linux, so either run the Linux version through the "Linux Binary Compatibility" or run the Windows version through emulators/wine. No guarantees.

wine doesn't work...i'll try the linux binary compatibility.

I've been using hamachi and then a vnc to conect remotely to a computar behind a NAT, but hamachi doesn't work since they updated the software, i guess...

It does work.

At least on 10.0-CURRENT.

Just download the Windows version and install it using wine. I have successfully remote controlled a windows client with it.

If remote machine is FreeBSD server then SSH on a server and PuTTy on windows is more than enough.
If remote machine is FreeBSD workstation AND you need to control GUI then install CygWin on windows and use native X11 tunneling over SSH. Check this link http://www.linux-tip.net/cms/content/view/302/26/ that show all setup process step-by-step.
