is the remote VM a linux machine? then you can setup something like xming on your local machine and ssh into target machine that will redirect X for the remove machine to your local PC (assuming local is a windows box). not quite running on local machine the window will be local so you can still see real time.

if both ends are linux machines you can also, through ssh, redirect the remote tcpdump to a local machine; you can save to file or follow it to view the headers locally if you like. Depending on what the need is one or the other may come in handy for troubleshooting.

i've used both of the above options.

sorry doesn't quite answer your local wireshark need.
