Since they are both Debian machines, you should install kernel-package
and use it to make debs of the kernel image that can be installed like
any other package.
apt-get install kernel-package
cd .../kernel-source-2.6.x
make-kpkg --revision=1 --append-to-version=.remote kernel-image
This makes the package ../kernel-image-2.6.x.remote_1_xxx.deb which you
can install on your remote machine. (--append-to-version is optional,
but lets you distinguish a kernel image targetted on your remote machine
from any other of a different configuration.)
Things would be more complicated if the remote machine had a different
architecture.
