Answering your question directly:
The best answer is usually, "install Augeas when you install Puppet". If
that's not possible, I know of two options:
1) Custom fact wrapper
2) Use a bootstrap enviroment and don't have your client leave it without
Augeas.
Aside from that, your catalog should compile fine without Augeas on the client.
