Have ssh available over the tunneled interface. Yup, lots of options available. Though, if you have a secure ssh and reasonable control of your passwords it is probably safe to leave it at port 22 rather than resorting to security by obscurity measures like running it on a higher number port or (as at least one webhost does) running it on 443, with some kind of shim listening on that port, intercepting requests to it and redirecting them to apache or sshd as appropriate.
