Yes, I do this daily, using OpenSSH on CygWin at either/both ends.

You can configure RealVNC to only accept connections from the local
system, which means you would use port forwarding to access port 5900 so
that from RealVNC's point of view, it is accepting a local connection.

Set up of ssh is via the script /usr/bin/ssh-host-config.
