A crazy long time ago I did this, when networks and computers were 
slower and security wasn't so formidable, but it should still be doable 
today... and probably faster.  Essentially your local machine becomes 
and X server, meaning your local machine's display, keyboard, mouse, 
etc. are used when running a command (here, emacs) on the remote 
machine.  Wild guess would be to run locally 'ssh -X -c "emacs 
filename"'.  But you'd likely need to configure X, Xclient, and the 
security bits so you don't get Denials.

I dont know Macs, so that's another game altogether.  I was working with 
Linux on both ends.  Sorry.

Please let us know what you get to work.
