One easy solution (it would work with any kind of program) is to use
NFS to mount the source directory locally.

If slime doesn't do it, it should be possible to patch it easily
enough to use tramp to load some files.

Perhaps you could just set the default directory to some tramp directory?
(slime-set-default-directory "/ssh:user at remote.host:/some/remote/dir/")
