Is it possible to create a secure AD environment for widely dispersed PC's behind other instiutions firewalls?

Hi,
We maintain a wide network of PCs (Win 2000 and XP, approx 200-300
machines). Most of these are single use machines designed for use in a Video
Conference environment. The machines are effectively standalone with public
IP's, and they are deployed in various institutions, some behind firewalls
that we don't manage. Although we have a certain amount of sway with the
other network managers to allow traffic to and from these machines, we
obviously do not have full control over ALL the traffic that can be passed
to them.
I feel that if we can create a secure AD environment to centrally manage
these machines it would be beneficial. I'm not entirely sure what
ports/protocols need to be configured to allow AD traffic, and then if this
traffic can be secured across foreign firewalls.
Is there a way to create such an environment?
Many thanks for any insight or articles you may have.
Chris
