Ken,
  Not that I am aware of, however, it is possible on the client 
connection to specify the fact that a reverse tunnel is connected back 
to the client that is accessible from other computers on the network.  
It would also be possible to run the sshd server on your client 
computers and the ssh client on the server and establish a connection / 
tunnel that way. (say via cron)
