What about this:

(setq-default
 frame-title-format
 '(:eval
   (format "%s@%s:%s"
           (or (file-remote-p default-directory 'user) user-login-name)
           (or (file-remote-p default-directory 'host) system-name)
           (file-name-nondirectory (or (buffer-file-name) default-directory)))))

It needs Emacs 23.1, due to the parameters of file-remote-p.

Best regards, Michael.
