Site to site with one site's VPN router behind another router

I need to set up a site to site vpn and I am planning to use a Netgear
FVS114 or similar at each end. However I have just found out that at one
site I will need to put the FVS114 behind an existing firewall router which
I don't have access to. The most I can expect is to get some ports
forwarded to the FVS114. I haven't bought the units yet, but I have read
the docs for the FVS114 and I can't see any reference to specifying a port
in the address for the "other" end of a link. Can this be done? If it
can't what options do I have?

The firewall would need to pass udp port 500 and protocol 50 to your router.
You can pass ANY traffic through the vpn tunnel.
