Set up OSX VNC so that it only accepts connections from localhost (I don't know this specific VNC server, but it should be an option. If not, find a different VNC server.) Figure out which display it's running (probably 0), and add 5900 to that number to get the port it's running on. Enable the ssh server on your OSX box; someone else will have to tell you how to do this with launchd because I don't remember, but I've done it and it's not too hard. There's also a freeware tool called sshhelper which is a gui that's supposed to walk you through the setup.
On the windows box, get an ssh client (I recommend PuTTY). Set up your connection so that it will tunnel (or forward) from some port, I'll use 5903, on your local machine to port 5900 (or whatever) on the remote machine. PuTTY's docs tell you how to do this; search for "port forwarding." Start your SSH session and log in. You don't have to do anything more with SSH, but just make sure you logged in successfully. Then tell your VNC client to connect to localhost::5903, replacing the port number with the one you actually used, or if it's a number greater than and close to 5900, you can use localhost:3 (in this example) instead.
