You _do_ know that you can get a local SLIME to talk
to a remote SWANK server, right? Or maybe I'm completely
misunderstanding what you're trying to do.

programmatically rather than manually from within Emacs.

The alternative would be to use some form of RPC, there are RPC servers
and clients for CL, and they are documented.
