I'm a big tcsh user so I can help.

/etc/csh.cshrc  ==  /etc/profile
/etc/csh.login  ==  /etc/bashrc (if such a thing exists for bash)
/etc/csh.logout

Like profile, you should keep the csh.cshrc, csh.login, and csh.logout files
free of tcsh specific commands lest someone uses standard csh.  This is
generally not a problem since most of what you set in these files are env
vars and paths.

I generally put stuff like keychain and my mh setup in ~/.login so that it
only executes when I get an actual login.  Otherwise, it tries to start
keychain when I scp to that host.  Paths and umask are pretty much the only
thing I put in cshrc

Instead of export you have setenv.

setenv VAR 'value'  ie.  setenv CVSROOT 'kabau@cvs.gentoo.org:/home/cvs'

Paths are generally set like so:

set path = (/bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6/bin)

My paths look like so:

set binpath = (/bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin)
set ccspath = (/usr/ccs/bin)
set sbinpath = (/sbin /usr/sbin /usr/local/sbin)
set userpath = ($HOME/bin)
set xpath = (/usr/X11R6/bin)
set path = ($binpath $sbinpath $xpath)

if ($OSTYPE == "solaris") then
    set path = ($path $ccspath)
endif

foreach HOSTNAME ("case" "thedrag" "ashpool")
    if ($HOST == $HOSTNAME) then
        set path = ($path $gnomepath $kdepath)
    endif
end

set path = ($path $userpath)

I didn't realize that I was missing /etc/env.d functionality until Tibor
sent an email about it.  I'll be happy to help with or do the tcsh
functionality in env-update.  I didn't even realize that we don't install
system-wide startup files for (t)csh users.
