You could always use a terminal multiplexor like GNU Screen or tmux to
keep your vim session persistent, although I suppose this only works
well with terminal Vim.
You could also X forward Vim like so:
ssh -Y username@yourhost mvim /path/to/somefile
This would use all of your marks, etc. from the host machine. I'm
not sure if X forwarding works for macs, or if you'll need to change
some settings. This type of set-up won't work very well with a Windows
host machine for obvious reasons.
Cheers,
Matt
