I haven't tried this, but I think you can redefine the function
ContextToFilename[] to look on the front-end machine. For instance, if you
have a package named Algebra`Quaternions`, you could (I think) specify
ContextToFilename["Algebra`Quaternions`"] =
"my machine\correct path\file name"
(or something like that).
