you have the right idea. As far as getting your profile to load correctly after executing tcsh...either run "source /etc/profile" or ". /homedir/.tcshprofile" note the space after the period. I am unaware of a different way to do this, besides defining it in usermod. I guess you could create a wrapper of sorts to act as your shell, and depening on the returned $HOSTNAME variable launch the appropriate shell....not sure if this would work though. IE: write a shell script that checks the variable, and then launches the appropriate shell, name this script /bin/customlogin. Using usermod, set your default shell to /bin/customlogin. Again, I'm not sure if this would work, but it seems relatively valid...
