I don't think that Opportunistic Encryption (OE) is the key here, but
some way for the "VPN gateway" at your office premises to authenticate
you wherever you may connect from.
I think the simplest way to achieve this is to use certificate-based
authentication, via X5.09 certificates. Set up a Certification Authority
(CA) on your gateway, issue a cert for your portable computer, and
instruct your IPsec implementations to authenticate based on this.
