I don't know what VisIt does but I am assuming it uses port
forwarding. You can always use manual ssh tunneling to get around a
firewall. I use it to connect to Kitware from home. I do something
like:

ssh -L 11111:localhost:11111 berk at kitwarefirewall
then at kitwarefirewall:
ssh -L 11111:berksmachine:11111 berk at berksmachine

The first one maps all connections to localhost at port 11111 to
kitwarefirewall, the second one maps all connections to
kitwarefirewall at port 11111 to my machine. I then connect to
localhost. So, ssh first tunnels my connection to kitwarefirewall,
which then is tunneled to berksmachine. This could work with one hop
if the firewall was not that strict:

ssh -L 11111:berksmachine:11111 berk at kitwarefirewall

would redirect all connections to 11111 on the localhost to
berksmachine:11111. Our firewall does not allow this.
