Our upgrade guide gives a (tested!) procedure to do remote upgrades.

There's more risk involved compared to an upgrade at the console.  But
that's a consequence of you deciding to run a remote machine without
console access. 

If it matters: I often upgrade machines with only ssh acccess, and
never had to drive to the colo to fix things.
