Backuppc (it's in portage) uses rsync over ssh, so you only need to open 
a single port in the firewall. Optionally, backuppc offers an http 
interface to monitor its status, so maybe you'll want to open port 80 as 
well.
Use an encrypted filesystem to store backups, and you should be done.

Note: the above setup probably needs some work if you want full 
automation.
