xterm isn't directly, but the X11 applications is scriptable, e.g.  
this applescript should start an xterm:

tell application "X11" to activate
do shell script "export DISPLAY=:0 && /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm"

Any reason that won't work in tcsh?  If not seems like it should be  
renamed just "environment".
