Good idea! Not very complicated. VNC is "tunnelled" over Telepathy using 
a stream tube — 
http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/spec/org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Type.StreamTube.html 
— which is not specific to VNC. Stream tubes basically give you a socket 
to a contact, and then you can speak any protocol you like.

You'd need to find a way either to make sshd listen on additional 
sockets on the fly, or (more likely) proxy from the stream tube socket 
to localhost:22.
