I just went through this the past few weeks as I have a Macpro at work and a newly acquired mbp for personal/side use.
this is what I've settled on for the time being (pretty much close to what everyone has already said):
1. Use google gmail/calendar/contacts.
2. In system preferences activate syncing via gmail for ical, ichat, address book, mac mail, etc.
3. dropbox is fucking awesome. I use it for my current projects. They have a free account with 2gb of storage. You'll have a dropbox folder on your iMac and one on your mbp. Anything you save in there is automatically uploaded/updated across your whole system. I also keep things like safari bookmarks, wacom pref's, etc in here.I say "settled" on because I'm basically waiting for apple's iCloud to come out. This will have 5gb storage and better syncing/integration into the OS. Currently the only thing I'm missing with my setup is there is no way to sync reminders in iCal
