I do this by establishing a connection to the remote X-server via ssh  
and redirecting the display of remote synaptic to my desktop. For  
brevity, I use this alias:

alias ssynaptic='ssh -X address@hidden gksu synaptic'

May be what you need. Alas, I use that in a LAN, so for real-life  
application it might well be too slow. :-)
