Question : Problem: Remote desktop - in reverse!

Scenario:
PC X (win xp) is behind a firewall. I CANNOT forward any ports to PC X.
PC Y is NOT behind a firewall.
PC Y's IP address and PC X's IP address are known beforehand.
I can ask a friend to mess around with PC X as I am attempting to connect to it from Y.
=====
I want PC Y to connect to PC X in a remote desktop / vnc session.
=====

Is there a way to make this happen? Can I have a host program residing in Y...have my friend launch a client program from X (which can clearly connect to Y since Y is NOT behind a router) and then have Y take control of X in a remote desktop / vnc session?
