Simple. Just store your libraries and your media in the external. You can attach it to either machine and work.
Two small words of caution:
1) make sure that you any effects, titles, etc that you use are installed in both machines.
2) In order to avoid permission problems, select the HD in the Finder, Cmd-I and check the little box at the bottom that says "Ignore ownership on this volume".
As long as you adhere to these points, it should be pretty painless.
