On foreign machines I'm rarely doing anything complicated enough where not having my .vimrc is noticeable. If I'm going to be spending a lot of time working on something, then it isn't a problem to either use my local machine or sshfs the remote server and work on it from my local editor. I try and keep my .vimrc limited to configuration and enhancement and not change how the core works. Things like rebinding builtin actions will never be seen in my .vimrc.
