I do the following:

1) Setup a ~/.p4config-<short hostname> file[0]
2) Set: P4CONFIG=.p4config-$HOSTNAME in /etc/profile
3) Make sure ~/.bashrc (or whatever shell you use) sources /etc/profile
4) Now, whichever machine I log into, Perforce is setup for that machine

[0] Example contents of ~/.p4config-isp24 for isp24.shock.wsu.edu
(`hostname` reports isp24):

P4PORT=perforce.smee.org:1666
P4USER=eric_sandall
P4PASSWD=14ml337><0r
P4CLIENT=sandalle-isp24

Hope this helps (though it's not quite what you asked),
