Sascha,

I've used a Juniper VPN system that provided a similar interface for 
simply connecting to internal web sites, but it also provided the 
ability to run a local client that would bring up a full VPN connection 
to allow normal connectivity to internal systems. If yours provides a 
similar capability, then you should be able to connect to your Mercurial 
repository without any problem.
