I showed how to forward the smart card from one host to another. Using that example you'd need to SSH back from the "server" to the "client" though.

Separately, I think Remmina does have support for forwarding a local smart card to the remote host, at least for Windows/RDP. Hooking that up to the RDP server on the "remote" so that it appears automatically as a p11-kit module shouldn't be hard.
