Is there a way that I can turn off globing for a certain command so
that I won't have to quote stars and whatnot?

Search the documentation for 'noglob'.

Awesome, thanks!
If anyone else wants to do this, what I did was instead of typing
noglob command *(stuff)
I just aliased the command to include noglob, like so:
alias command="noglob command"

What you could do is have two commands, one being an alias to
noglob scp
and the other being vanilla scp
So like:
alias pcp='noglob scp'
pcp remote:foo/* .
scp * remote:foo/
Just a thought.

alias scp='noglob scp_wrap'
function scp_wrap {
local -a args
local i
for i in "$@"; do case $i in
(*:*) args+=($i) ;;
(*) args+=(${~i}) ;;
esac; done
command scp "${(@)args}"
}
There's probably a way to inline the ~ GLOB_SUBST enabling only on
elements of an array matching a pattern, whilst leaving the array
element ordering unmutated.

"setopt nonomatch" is a pretty good approximation to this, unless
you really have files called remote:foo/* on the disk.

Going that route, you should also make sure that nonull_glob and
nocsh_null_glob are set, otherwise you can lose an arg or get an
error (the latter if csh_null_glob is set and there's only one
wildcard expression).
