The way I do this at uni is by having one configuration for each machine:

yallara [11:26am] [~] ls -la .fvwm2rc*
-rw------- 1 izzo students 7575 Oct 8 10:56 .fvwm2rc-numbat
-rw------- 1 izzo students 7109 Oct 8 10:57 .fvwm2rc-yallara

Then my .xsession looks like this:

#!/bin/sh

# use correct config file depending on host

FOO=`hostname`
CONFIG=""

if [ $FOO = "yallara.cs.rmit.edu.au" ]; then
   CONFIG="$HOME/.fvwm2rc-yallara"
elif [ $FOO = "numbat.cs.rmit.edu.au" ]; then
   CONFIG="$HOME/.fvwm2rc-numbat"
fi

# start the window manager

exec fvwm2 -f $CONFIG

# eof

But you could of course use one of the other methods previously described;
they're probably more elegant. :-)
