Another option that I'm considering to use, is putting two target rootfs's on
the target's disk. One of those is a minimal rootfs running only ssh an rsync
(for example) that can be used to update the second root fs (ie, boot the
first rootfs to update the second, then reboot in to the second rootfs). That
way you can emerge to some local copy of the target rootfs on your dev host
and rsync it to the target when you are done.
I haven't done it yet, but this is the route I am going down.
I have bandwidth limitations also, so I'm going to make a copy of the
route fs, then rsync this against the target filesystem, then as near
atomically as possible switch the OS to boot from the new rootfs and set
the old root as a backup. (Then reboot the box...)
Good luck
