I just got an iMac on my desk so I will no longer be lugging my PowerBook back and forth to work. I would like to be able to automount my work Home folder on my home machine when I log in. Any easy, secure way to do this?
Is it bad to have the same shortnames on both of my computers?

Turn on file sharing on your work computer, mount it from your laptop and then drad the icon into your list of login items in Accounts in System Preferences.
This assumes you have a static IP address and you are happy with the secutiry of the in-built file sharing.

Should I be happy with the security of AFP? Should I set up an ssh tunnel?

I don't think you have too much to worry about. I have never heard of AFP hacking. But your security profile may demand higher security.

Well, personally, I am happy with AFP security, but I hesitate to say that because someone one here will doubt say that AFP can be hacked with nothing more than a rusty spoon and and old coke tin.

Better be safe then sorry and SSH Tunnel it. How do you tunnel AFP since OS X Client doesn't support Secure AFP?

There was a description of how to set up AFP through SSH in this thread (towards the middle of the page by Simon).
