Yes.  Give the VPN router a private IP on one interface and put it on the
internal network.  Shutdown the other interface, you don't need it anymore.
Map an external ip on the firewall to the vpn router's ip on the inside.  I
assume the vpn router is pptp, so you need to put in rules to allow GRE
packets to the vpn router (I think it's protocol type 42), and allow port
1723/tcp.  It should work.  Make sure you remove the the pptp.o module in
the firewall if you have it, this is for outgoing connections only and may
mess with your setup.  If everything works, you can put it back in.

If you're using IPSec, you'll need to open some other ports.  Let me know if
this is the case.

No, like I said above, just don't use the other interface, shut it down.
