I had a similar situation. I work on a remote desktop for development but my android device is connected to my local laptop. I wanted to be able to use adb and the android plugin in eclipse on the remote desktop and connect to the device attached to my laptop. After searching on the internet and not finding anything that really helped, I decided to write a port forwarder that would do the trick. You can find it here. I hope it will be helpful to other people as well.
