Actually, dragging the profile across the WAN might not be such a big deal if you don't delete the cached copy on the central region TS server. It will "merge" the profile, avoiding dragging everything. If you were setting this up from scratch, I'd recommend setting the AD entry for each user's TS profile to %ZONENAME%\%USERNAME%. Then you could set an environment variable ZONENAME on each TS server to an appropriate file server.

Is the profile server not on the same local network as the citrix servers? Even if they are not, why not use GPO policies to split out the profile for those citrix servers. Users that log into that silo would get a shared mandatory mandatory (or a flex).
