If XP Home supports Terminal Services, you can install/enable TS for "Remote Administration" (free for up to two simultaneous connections) and use Microsoft's <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/mac/otherproducts/otherproducts.aspx?pid=remotedesktopclient">Remote Desktop Client</a>. It works very well. Just don't forget to Log Off when ending your session instead of just disconnecting or it leaves a connection hanging around. I downloaded Longhand, but for a more traditional calculator with lots of nice features (in advanced mode), I use <a href="http://www.macropodsoftware.com/koalacalc/index.html">Koala Calc</a>.

In my experience, it performs better over lower-bandwidth links (like the Internet) than RealVNC. You just need to make sure the client supports the "tight" encoding (newer versions of Chicken of the VNC do). Shouldn't be any problem making it work through a router. You'll just need to forward port 5900 through to the PC in question. I've had good success with TightVNC.
