Yes, one way to do this is to use IPSec protected IP connection with any
virtual tunneling of bridged networks.

OpenVPN (http://openvpn.sourceforge.net/) is another alternative for
this. It uses non-IPSec tunnel and TUN/TAP device (TAP part, i.e.,
virtual Ethernet devide, bridged with the real Ethernet device on both
tunnel end-points).
