maybe this works for you: put the following lines in all your .emacs
files, and put the rest on a web server:

  (defun my-eval-url-callback ()
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (re-search-forward "^\r?$" nil 1)
    (delete-region (point-min) (point))
    (eval-buffer))

  (url-retrieve "http://example.org/emacs.el" 'my-eval-url-callback)

i tested this only superficially. i, too, use version control (darcs)
for my .emacs.
