The complexity depends on your router.

Basically you
a) flick the "act as pptp/vpn server" switch in your broadband router
b) pick a vpn username/password
c) pick any dyndns provider and setup an account
d) enable the dyndns client part in your broadband router

e) Then just enter the dyndns hostname, username and password in your
    mobile device (and you better be using ICS, due to
    http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4369
    I don't like trusting random apps with my vpn credentials so I have
    no idea whats on the market)

If your broadband router properly pushes the multicast packets around
(acting as a bridge instead of a router to connect VPN and LAN)
everything should "just work".

Of course you can move the dyndns client and pptp server to your master
backend and enable only some port forwarding in your router.
