`make-temp-file' does it already. It depends only on the settings of
`temporary-file-directory'.

(or (file-remote-p file 'localname) file)

This returns always the local part of a file name. It does not need an
explicit Tramp function call, and it works also for other file name
handlers, like `ange-ftp-hook-function' or `url-file-handler'.
