Starting with Accumulo 1.5 there is a VFS class loader that is capable of loading jars from HDFS. If you have a look at the accumulo-site.xml in conf/examples/vfs-classloader, there is example configuration in the "VFS ClassLoader Settings” section.
If you’re on 1.4 or earlier, I don’t believe there is any alternative to just making sure the jars are distributed to all tservers.
