Yes, you can run remote memcached instances be they even say international.

I run expermentally a SSH connection to our server cluster remotely
and via it have access to our memcached cluster. I could thereby
connect memcached daemons at this location to our remote cluster.

Personally, I am unsure if there are any memcached agents that allow
you to run a complete duplicate memcached instance like you envision.
 Most memcached daemons work in a distributed workload model where all
the memcached daemons split the load and split the stored data.

Here is one memcached solution that *appears* to do what you want - repcached:
