I have an XP pro computer at home that I would like to
connect to from work. However my work computer sits
behind the corporate firewall which has NAT enabled. I
can't connect to my home computer.

My home computer sits behind a broadband router that I
have configured to forward requests for port 3389 to.

Is their any way to get this to work without defining
static routes on the firewall(which I can't do at work)?
 
Yes, however you (or the Security Administrator) need to allow outbound port 3389 traffic on your corporate firewall. I.e. many companies only allow outbound traffic on port numbers that they know are needed, i.e. 80, 443, 25, & 53. (HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP & DNS

Also you'd need a static IP address on your home Internet connection or some kind of Dynamic DNS so you know how to connect to your home comuter
