There is no blocker at the ipsec protocol level, but there is a significant one
for the nat engine as it is basically impossible to properly assign the
esp traffic to each of the clients for all the possible cases. If you
have a sane vpn vendor, it does supports nat traversal and so you wont
have any problems. 

So in short, no you should not have any problems if you use nat-t and
you may/will have problems if you dont use nat-t.

Hope this helps,
