AFAIK, the default VNC server port is 5900 for the first display, 5901 for the second... So this should work:
Code:
# Open the tunnel, and close it after 120 seconds if no connection has been made
# SSH automatically forks into the background
$ ssh -f -L 5900:192.168.1.8:5900 'sleep 120'
$ vncviewer localhost
