The iPhone fully and natively supports VPN for wireless access.
It supports via Cisco IPSec for example. In the iPhone configuration screen you actually get a Cisco logo.
However, depending on the methodology used by the company you work for, you may or may not be able to hook it up cleanly.
IPSec for example where I work (S1) requires a certificate. I'm currently exploring the possibilities there but it looks grim since S1 doesn't support it. All the other data points required are available to S1 employees. Only the cert is missing.
To get a more complete description of what the iPhone supports "out of the box" click here for an official two page Apple explanation.
Or if you want the 57 page iPhone and iPod Touch Enterprise Deployment Guide from Apple, including VPN, Exchange and other things, click here.
