There is, if you are wanting to send to a phone, either the Prowl or
Boxcar action handle that quite well.

If you are wanting to send to a remote Mac, there are a variety of
ways you can do it, and Im going to assume you mean Growl 1.3+
(preferably Growl 2.0+), the easiest of which is likely to use Back to
My Mac (BTMM).  If you used a bonjour entry (one that just appeared in
your list, and has the bonjour symbol next to it), and your computer
was set up to use BTMM, it might already have it set that way.  You
can also try it with a manual entry using the BTMM domain scheme,
which looks like <computer name>.<user
number>.members.btmm.icloud.com.  To find your <user number>, you can
use the following command in Terminal.app: dns-sd -E, and the last
line of a set of lines starting with icloud.com, will be your user
number.  Your <computer name> is going to be translated into a domain
name friendly version from the name in System Preferences -> Sharing
(My Mac will become my-mac).  For doing forwarding it might be
possible to do it with other dynamic domain name systems, but
propagation time could be a problem.

Another option is to use a subscription from your laptop to the remote
machine using it's public IP address/domain name/whatever (again, can
use BTMM either via bonjour or manual entry).

Note that for either forwarding or subscription BTMM requires a IPv6
on in such a way that the computers can talk to each other directly
(router not blocking IPv6 communications, computer set to accept
them).  If you use an IPv4 and subscription, you will need to ensure
tcp port 23053 is forwarded on your router to the computer you are
trying to subscribe to.
