I have cygwin with ssh and X on the lab machine and I just start an X server and do "ssh -X user@workstation emacsclient ..." to get an emacs frame on the remote machine. I needed to change the DPI of the cygwin X server to get the fonts at a reasonable size, because cygwin's X was not detecting properly; YMMV.
