Local variables could be one approach (see the Emacs Info pages under
"(emacs)File Variables"). Here you have the disadvantage that the
settings are not evaluated.

Another approach could be adding a function to `find-file-hooks' which
expands `compilation-search-path' by the (Tramp) directory name of the
loaded file, if it makes sense.
