ratpoison is perfect for this but requires X locally.

1,2,3,4 would be Xterms sshed to the remote servers and local would be the 
local xterm.

the only thing that gets me about ratpoison is that you cannot have desktops 
per se, but you can Save window positions.

If you do not want to use X then you may want to look at twin.
