Connecting to os x from Windows

I was wondering if its possible to gain remote access to my iMac (intel) from a Windows based machine. Basically I'm looking for remote desktop connection, but in reverse, I want my Windows machine to control my mac.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Install 'OSXvnc' (and optinally 'Chicken of the VNC', a VNC Client) on the Mac, and 'REALvnc' on the PC.
