Probably the best solution is for tramp to implement a general 
server-local-variable mechanism, as there are probably other variables 
that need different values for different servers too.  The user could 
then configure a variable (such as tramp-server-local-variable-alist) to 
define any such variables that they need to, which would then be let 
bound as appropriate in tramp functions.
