I haven't yet used the options that Rodney mentions, but one that works
well enough for me relies on TRAMP.  Simply start R while working with
your script remotely as you normally would with TRAMP, making sure the
process is associated with your remote script.  R will be running on
that machine.  If you're using SSH, it's important to have pager="cat"
for the help system to work properly, so I use this in ~/.Rprofile:

    if (Sys.getenv("SSH_CONNECTION") != "") options(pager="cat")
