I think you have to use tunneling of the command.  I've only had to do this
with fetchmail, but I think the command looks something like this:

ssh -f -L <localport>:remote.host.com:<remoteport> remote.host.com <command>

You might look at the -f and -L options to see if those describe what
you're looking for.
