http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2231902/originate-edit-of-remote-file-using-emacs-tramp-from-ssh-session has a fairly simple accepted answer which amounts to

(setq server-use-tcp t)
(setq server-host "name_of_local_machine")
(server-start)
;; Maybe also muck with `server-auth-dir`

and then use

emacsclient -f ~/.emacs.d/server/server /`hostname`:/path/to/local/file

There is also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12546722/using-emacs-server-and-emacsclient-on-other-machines-as-other-users which is more complex but where the answers also (roughly) touch similar bases.
