You _can_ tunnel NFS over SSH.  You must forward a couple ports,
including portmaper (111) and NFS (2049).  Depending on your
configuration, there may be other ports.

# ssh -L 111:server:111 -L 2049:server:2049 firewall_IP

Note:  You will need to use the ssh client as root to setup the port
forwarding since ports <=1024 are used.  "server" is the internal
server name as resolved/known by the internal SSH server you are
connected to (which your firewall forwards SSH, port 22, packets
to).

There are several ways to approach this with dynamic DNS.  Again,
are you forwarding SSH (22) connections to an internal box?
