[OS X Emacs] Aquamacs(mac) + remote emacsclient(linux)?

Sorry, I've found plenty of partial answers in the dox and on the web, but I can't quite thread them all together. Is there a way?

I want to 
 - run Aquamacs on my "local" computer, the one with the keyboard and display
 - and run emacs-server there inside
 - open a local Terminal window
 - ssh to the "remote" computer, and run something-like-emacsclient with no doubt some command args voodoo
 - which connects back from the "remote" computer to my emacs-server
 - causing it to use a Tramp URL to access the actual file

I've figured out how to drive Tramp appropriately, that part's working. But the emacsclient (--version 21.4) on the "remote" system, where the files are but no display, doesn't seem to speak network-ese:

> > emacsclient --help
> Usage: emacsclient [-a ALTERNATE-EDITOR] [-n] [--no-wait] [+LINE[:COLUMN]] FILENAME
> Or emacsclient --version
> Report bugs to bug-gnu-emacs at gnu.org.

And some of the web-found hints depend on X11, which of course, since I'm using Aquamacs, is no help, right?
