If there is something where I need to be fresh, I duck into the bathroom and wash my face/neck/arms down with water. I have used the baby powder trick down under as well, but that is a rarity.
Oh, I also wear a patterned shirt to hide any "sweat-throughs" on my back.
Commuting in your work clothes seems to be a rarity around here. Most commuter are wearing spandex jerseys and tight pants. However, I will say your approach is the most reasonable... perhaps after a while our society will give up its obsession against perspiration.
