I would think the best way to go about this would be to have a common meta-data repository. It would seem to be quite a bit of effort to try and map metadata definitions between different instances, but the usual approach here would be to have a "master" instance, which other "slave" instances would draw their metadata from. In this case, the exchange of pivots/reports would be possible, but very troublesome otherwise.
It is certainly possible, but building the transformation would be one more piece to maintain and would be quite fragile, as changes on either side would break it.
