Yes you can but it is a little bit trickey. You need to install this on your iMac.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/osxvnc/

Then this on your XP box.

Make sure you open the firewall and turn on the services on the iMac as well. To go from OS X to XP you can download the remote desktop client from Microsoft.

That is a little bit easier.
