I found the following pbcopy.vim script
" File: pbcopy.vim
" Author: Tom Stuart
" Version: 1.0
" Last modified: February 7, 2011

function! s:pbcopy()
"call system("ssh localhost pbcopy", getreg(""))
call system("pbcopy", getreg(""))
endfunction
command! -nargs=0 -bar PBCopy call s:pbcopy()

Note that I commented out the first system call and added the
modified one with 'ssh'.
And the following keymappings:
noremap ;c :PBCopy<CR>
vmap ;c :PBCopy<CR>

so the resulting action is y;c ...

As of yet, the vimscript not portable 'tho - since linux won't
recognize pbcopy, I would guess that xsel would be the option for
linux.

This gets me going.
cheers
