It depends on a number of things:

1.  VPN technology used - are you comfortable with it?
2.  Where the people using PCAnywhere are - are they in a secure
environment?  Do you trust them?  

If any of these questions have the answer no, then you can consider
those NT systems being controlled as potentially compromised and might 
try to keep them in a DMZ (that's what we do).
