You could also run one of the dyndns.org clients which updates the system's
address at their DNS servers. Then you just need to ssh into your-name.dyndns.org
or your own domain name if you so own one.

The client software periodically checks your ip address and makes an update to dyndns.org's system, all running quietly in the background as a startup process.

Of course, if someone were to steal your Mac OS X computer, wouldn't they need to do some pretty major reinstallation to get past your administrator password? Would this be likely to break any automatic system such as this that was installed?

I would think that an OS X theif would probably end up wiping the disk and reinsalling the OS before selling the system. But maybe they would boot it a few times and allow you to track it before it got wiped.
