I say "at best" because inbound connections destined for [my computer] must be made with non-standard ports, depending on what services the proxy is already running and how many machines will proxy through it. This may be satisfactory for you.
A quick test got this working for me:
ssh -L *:9999:dest_computer:22 dest_computer
This forwards all inbound traffic to your proxy on port 9999 to your destination computer on port 22.
Forwarding traffic away from dest_computer is a little trickier"
Using "-R" activates a reverse port forward:
ssh -R *:9999:dest_computer:22 dest_computer
This command will tell dest_computer to forward any traffic on port 9999 to your proxy's port 22. I expect you'd need to combine this with iptables to actually forward the traffic onward to the internet. I'm not in a position to test this part.

Why do you say "at best"? That sounds like precisely the solution (if
I'm understanding you correctly).
