    Again, I think the way I described this may be causing some confusion.
    Lets start over with this scenario:

                     |
    Home <----------|----------> Linux machine running SSH
                     |
                     +-Firewall only allowing port 80 http requests

    Ignore the other computer, it doesn't exist in the question I am
    asking. Assuming I have no access whatsoever to the Linux machine
    running SSH behind the firewall, is there anyway I can set up the
    Linux machine before I lose physical/logical access to it so that I
    can get back in later?

    I'm not looking for backdoor access, I will know the person
    administering the machine, but I doubt they will want to go out of
    their way to actively make this easier for me.
