  First you'd better post such questions on a dedicated cedet
  list where you'll find people knowing cedet features and
  details. But anyway !

   Simply try to replace it with : 

   (setq rootsys "/ssh:user@remote.host:~/path/to/my/project/")

   Emacs is transparent to such operations. The goal of tramp
   is precisely to make it transparent. For instance I do
   things like that for mew or w3m. Directories are on remote
   machines in certain circumstances. When starting mew or w3m
   there are tramp operations in the background and I suspect
   that it will be similar with cedet.

   Anyway you'll perhaps want to switch from a situation to
   another, but it's not difficult to change the rootsys
   variable and reinitialize other variables from its value.

  Humm !! In this case it might be slow ! But anyway not slower
  than your ssh connection ! Moreover, once all files would be
  loaded no more transactions will be performed. Anyway whith
  such a configuration I had to wait 10 or 15 minutes until
  everything is loaded.
