Problem is, he and I have separate roles and machines assigned - I do the synthesis and fit on mine, and he generates the programming file for testing. Probably not the most efficient of setups, but essentially it's not his role to re-create and re-run the project on his end.

Strange setup ... you've gone to all of the trouble to place-and-route, why not just generate the programing file?
What 're-creation' is he doing that verifies what you have not already done?
If your respective machines are powerful enough, you could both share a common Virtual Machine image; you use it to synthesize and then he uses it to verify.
Personally, I use Tcl scripts for synthesis and simulation, and check things into and out of CVS across multiple machines and virtual machines. Other than having a source location environment variable and a build location environment variable, everything is pretty much machine and tool version independent (the build folder is filled with quartus and modelsim directories based on the tool version number).
