I'm using a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard if it helps.

Also through VNC is it possible to output audio through the phone? Ie If I wanted to listen to music on my iTunes remotely.
As xtjonni said, if your client is behind your router, you need to set port forwarding.

But even when your client is having a public IP, it's a chance that your mobile (vnc server) is behind a firewall/gateway that doesn't forward your traffic.

So the issue is not as simple as you might imagine.

One solution is to drill a hole between client's and server's firewall, the simplest way is to do it by socat(on N900 side) and netcat(on PC side).

But the simplest way is still need some tinkering, just in case you want to go all the hassle to achieve your goal.
