I don't see why not - if we make the assumption of a shared directory, possibly with different mountpoints, then what's the difference from Emacs' perspective between a local lisp and an ssh-tunneled lisp? This way I can test my code on CMUCL (I'm on OS X) from my pretty local Emacs.
But does the patch work for e.g. M-. on previously compiled code? There are quite a few places we use filenames (currently and potentially) and it would be a pity to have to guard them all with filename translations unless we really have to.
Can you tell me again why it doesn't work to use the same mount-points? I think that's the normal practice, otherwise there are just so many things that can break (e.g. symlinks).
