% Ayup. Use a wrapper script. Set the EDITOR environment variable, or
%
% #!/bin/sh
% test -n "SSH_TTY" && exec vim ${1+"$@"}
% test -n "$DISPLAY" && exec gvim ${1+"$@"}
% exec vim ${1+"$@"}
Or, better yet, something like
test -n "$DISPLAY" && exec gvim ${1+"$@"} || exec vim ${1+"$@"}
to avoid running (vim or gvim) and then running vim.
