You are correct that the ReadyNas does "support" ssh. It is the nice gui backup system that I was hoping to use that doesn't support rsync over ssh.

To use the GUI, and be secure, you need a local box you can ssh to or from and an rsync server running at work. You could use the ssh access to the NAS for just the tunnel. Similar to DarkHeart's answer ssh WORKBOX -L 874:localhost:873 (see autossh too). Once you have an rsync server up and configured at work and the ssh tunnel is up, you should be able to point the GUI at a "remote" server of localhost:874 and it will rsync with your work box.
