Actually this is more the kind of a configuration issue and not an issue
of PackageKit. The sane default PolicyKit configuration requires that
the user sits in front of the machine.

Drop a file with the following content
to /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/10_allow_pk.pkla and replace
YOURNAME by the user who connects by ssh:

[Allow PackageKit on SSH] 
Identity=unix-user:YOURNAME
Action=org.freedesktop.PackageKit.*
ResultInactive=yes

Afterwards the user should be allowed to execute all PackageKit commands without
being asking for a password.
