Try to install everything needed on the server side using macports (lamp stack, memcache, etc). MacVim and svn/git from command line to write code/manage. I started running all the server software on my laptop about 5 years ago and haven't looked back since. I don't need a network connection, ssh, or anything to work. I've done quite a bit of development in the air as a result. It's also wicked fast (never any network latency) --- which adds up over time.
