Well, latex-suite at least in my case, does not care about the current
directory of vim as long as the DVI file is in the same directory as the
tex file being edited. It also figures out the path using the .latexmain
file if found.. So something like:

    $ cd ~/research/phd/
    $ vim main.tex
        :cd /tmp " from within vim
        \lv      " in normal mode.

works for me. I hope the sequence of actions I'm describing is clear.
