My passenger window died once (happens a lot with MKIIIs) and I could not for the life of me force it up or down. I've got a spare passenger regulator and motor though, and I'm pretty sure the motor is the same for both sides, just flipped if you need it.
Try putting it back on the track first, just in case the motor is ok =]

If it's off the track, you could damage the window if you're attempting to "force" it up. Try to get an eye on what's going on in there and see if everything is in place in the track. If it's not, get it in the track first.
Another thing to check, the windows switches in the MKIII are infamous (at least down here they are!) for corroding on the inside and the switch will not operate the motor. When you say the motor is shot, is it not doing ANYTHING or does it attempt to run the motor and it's just weak or malfunctioning?
If it's possibly just a switch issue you can roll the window up with a 12V battery source (car battery, jump box, whatever) with just a couple wires in the window regulator connector. The polarity will not harm anything, because that's how it rolls up and down. Wired one way, it goes up, reverse polarity it goes down.
Do not attempt to force the window by hand or with the motor if it is not on the track. Also do not attempt using a jumper wire to jog the window up or down if you're not familiar with doing that sort of thing. I can explain more in depth if it comes to it.

when my drivers side motor went, the window seemed to be off the track, but it wasnt.
i pulled the door panel off and unbolted the window from he motors arm. I was fortunte enough to have a friend on hand to hold the window up while i pulled the motor out, and put the new one in place. But i guess mine was stuck closed, and i didnt try to hard to change its direction.

Basically I'd redo as many hoses, gaskets and vacuum lines as possible. I'd change all of the fluids, so you know what you've got in there. Anything made by RedLine should be good to go. http://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch.asp?N=400236
