There is no great support for remote compilation, but Tramp comes with
a file tramp-util.el which defines a command tramp-compile or
similar.  It has the problem that you can't see the output as it is
arriving; you have to wait for the compilation to finish before you
can see the output.

But Michael has added functionality to the CVS version of Tramp which
supports async shell commands -- not sure if that helps, I haven't
looked at it, yet.
