One approach is to have an inline script that examines the URL and
sets the base URL appropriately:

<script>
document.write('<base href="' + location.href.substr(0,
location.href.lastIndexOf('LayoutTests/') + 'LayoutTests/'.length) +
'">');
</script>

Of course, you could make the script more readable if you were willing
to have it extend to more than one line.  If you wanted to get really
fancy, you could restore the original base URL after loading the
appropriate test harness scripts.
