Just to clarify - you want outbound requests from the NAS to go to a VPN (for instance looking for firmware updates and getting the time, or perhaps downloading torrents...).
Or are you looking for the usual scenario of using a VPN to reach the NAS when you are not on your local network? The usual way to do this would be to deploy a VPN router. You can purchase routers intended for small business that have this built in, there are also some add-ons for open source routers. There have been a couple of posts here on installing a VPN server in the NAS itself, though i haven't seen a guide.
