With Emacs from CVS, you could use `defvaralias' to accomplish this:
,----[ C-h f defvaralias RET ]
| defvaralias is a built-in function in `C source code'.
| (defvaralias NEW-ALIAS BASE-VARIABLE &optional DOCSTRING)
|
| Make NEW-ALIAS a variable alias for symbol BASE-VARIABLE.
| Setting the value of NEW-ALIAS will subsequently set the value of
BASE-VARIABLE,
| and getting the value of NEW-ALIAS will return the value BASE-VARIABLE has.
| Third arg DOCSTRING, if non-nil, is documentation for NEW-ALIAS. If it is
| omitted or nil, NEW-ALIAS gets the documentation string of BASE-VARIABLE,
| or of the variable at the end of the chain of aliases, if BASE-VARIABLE is
| itself an alias.
| The return value is BASE-VARIABLE.
|

So something like the following would do this (on CVS Emacs):
(defvaralias 'c-basic-offset 'tab-width)
HTH.
