It still needs a machine on the inside of the firewall to act as the VPN
endpoint.

You could terminate the vpn on the firewall or you need to the machine
behind (I suggest DMZ network), otherwise you won't be able to establish a
vpn connection.
The other thing I could imagine for a temporary connection would be ssh
but you also would need a machine to terminate the connection and it
shouldn't be the firewall itself.

Since I only need to worry about connecting one machine from outside
to one server on the inside, could I not just setup a RAS connection
on the server (inside) and then dedicate one of my public IP’s to the
connection on the outside? Then could then NAT the traffic from that
public IP to the server inside. Does this sound doable or am I missing
something?

You asked for a vpn solution right? What you are talking about has nothing
to do with vpn, but it is also possible ther the client only needs a simple
connection to the internet.
In this case you only need a destination nat rule if the server is in a
rfc1918 segment.
