This sounds like a job for our new superhero the --extra-socket option
that gpg-agent gained recently. It is meant for forwarding agent
connections to remote hosts. The local agent will then create an
scdaemon process to communicate to your smartcard.

Think well on the security implications of letting the remote machine
access your locally installed private keys. Do you fully trust the
machine and anyone with access to the socket on the remote machine?

HTH,
