Maybe somethign like cron where central remind files are stored under /var/spool/remind per-user and could include remind files in your home directory or whereever. remindd (extra d) could just run as a daemon and parse files in this spool directory. Maybe "remind -e" could edit your spool file via $EDITOR like crontab -e :-) Anyways, probably wouldn't be too difficult to code something up for yourself... just some ideas.
