You need to use a router that supports both Port and Address translation. Place this router between Internet and your LAN and assign your registered IP address to that router's WAN interface. Assign a private IP address (see available ranges in the link below) to the LAN side of the router and configure workstations/servers to use it as their gateway address.

There should be no practical problem with doing this as different ports will be used.

I don't see any problem here, ftp and VPN should
be able to reside next to each other on ony
system (it does on mine).

See the www.freeswan.com documentation for
extensive examples and references.
