Packet radio ?
Or 400Mhz transmitting modules those are very small and able to transmit
digital signals.
There is one setback you can't use full-duplex.

So far the best I've come up with is to link
one machine to a palmtop

Any other ideas?
Hmm, I've got a deep mistrust of any 'data over the mains' technology, but
might that be an option here? I assume *most* of your systems are
physically plugged into the mains anyway, so it'd meet the ideal
requirement for no extra cabling. Data rates presumably not lightning
fast, of course...
Sneakernetting data around isn't such a problem in a classic context,
though - most old machines need you to be physically present in order to
do anything (interesting) with them, so carrying the data back and forth
isn't any great hardship.
Some sort of RS232 star-based topology could be fun, though :)
