Yes
1. VPN in to said branch, remote desktop to a PC connected to the network and access the files. (quick and dirty)
2. If the Novell server have TCP/IP installed, then you should be able to (theoretically) install the Novell client on your side, connect with a VPN to the other branch and then try to connect to the Novell server. (Not sure if it's the right way, but a Novell expert should know).
Last time I worked with Novell Netware was with 3.12 and 4.x.... and it stopped there.

I was thinking the same, like create a user account on that side, logon to that machine and then access the files that way, and copy them onto your branch machine.
We have moved away from Novell and so don't want to install it.
you can install the Novell Protocol on your PC and have access to the novell server. you'll be prompted for two logon's when you logon to your computer everytime.
Or just install the Novell protocol on your servers, map a drive to it and then share the dirve to your MS network.

Install a Linux box at the destination, use ncpfs to mount the netware volume, and export it again using Samba.
Don't u mean client?

Well, later Netware versions use TCP/IP instead of IPX, which helps a bit. However, I have no clue of how to use the Novell Client to access a remote network. I think it would need some sort of VPN connection at the least so tha the client could see the Novell tree and server.
The main challenge is getting connected to the other network first I think.
