Site-to-Site means two gateways establishing a connection. The two
gateways have fixed IP addresses.
I have this scenario working with Strongswan on a Linux gateway
connecting to a Checkpoint VPN-1.
Roadwarriors means a client with unknown IP connects to a gateway (the
Checkpoint in you case). I believe the authentication protocol used by
Checkpoint with Securemote/Secureclient is non-standard so I'm not sure
you can connect to it easily with an Open Source solution.
