Two thoughts - I like 'meld' and it compares local directories - it's
available in the repositories - so if you can access the remote
directory thru nautilus, then use the ~/.gvfs folder to make the
remote folder available to meld as a local one.

Or you could hack up a little bash script - e.g.
   ls -ahl / > /tmp/1 && ssh riviera 'ls -ahl / > /tmp/2' && scp
riviera:/tmp/2 /tmp && vimdiff /tmp/1 /tmp/2
replacing riviera with your remote host, and vimdiff with meld or
whatever you prefer...
