SSH added a new option (-w) to allow the creation of TUN/TAP tunnels. All available tutorials I've found so far http://ku1ik.com/2011/11/12/tunnel-vm-network-ssh.html requests allowing remote root login.

Is there a way to enable this type of tunneling without the need to allow remote root login ?

From the tutorial you linked:

Because only privileged users can create network interfaces you need to run this command as root, ssh-ing to remote host as root user as well.

That sounds like a 'no' to me. If you have root access why not setup a proper vpn service (such as OpenVPN)?
