$ tar --rsh-command=`which ssh` -zcvf remote_host:filename.tar.gz -- directory_to_tar
Single line solution, not a hack, part of tar. Works even if you don't have enough space to create the archive on the local machine. use -jcvf and filename.tar.bz2 if you want a little better compression. Data is sent securely over the wire, assuming you have SSH setup correctly.
man tar is your friend. Boosh!

shape_tar
SHAPE_TAR(1) General Commands Manual SHAPE_TAR(1)
NAME
shape_tar - shapeTools RMS bundle up subsystem in a tar or shar archive
SYNOPSIS
shape tar[VERSIONS=<version_selection_rule>] [ARCHIVE=<filename>]
shape shar[VERSIONS=<version_selection_rule>] [ARCHIVE=<filename>]
DESCRIPTION
Shape tar and shape shar create a tar or a shar archive containing all source components of the current node in the system tree. All source
components listed in the COMPONENTS macro in the Makefile and the release identification file (VERSIONFILE) are written to the archive.
Components of subsystems are not included in the archive file.
The VERSIONS macro may be set to specify a version selection rule to be active during archive file creation. Default is most_recent,
selecting the most recent version of each component. See shape_stdrul(7) or the $(SHAPELIBPATH)/stdrules for other possible settings. You
may also use self defined version selection rules as VERSIONS.
ARCHIVE is the base name of the file where the output shall be written to. Default is $(SUBSYSTEMNAME). The output file gets the filename
extension .tar (resp. .shar). When ARCHIVE=- is given, data will be written to standard output.
SEE ALSO
shape_RMS(1), shape_stdrul(7)
FILES
$(SUBSYSTEMNAME).tar $(SUBSYSTEMNAME).shar
