Yes, I had the same problem awhile back.  Here is the tcl code to set
local variables for csh/tcsh users:

proc set-localvar {var {string ""}} {
    global env
 
    if [regexp "^/.*/t?csh$" "$env(SHELL)"] then {
        case [module-info mode] in {
            "display" { puts stderr "Set-Local $var to $string" }
            "load"    { puts -nonewline "set $var = $string;" }
            "remove"  { puts -nonewline "unset $var;" }
            "switch1" { puts -nonewline "unset $var;" }
            "switch2" { puts -nonewline "set $var = $string;" }
        }
    }
}
 
set-localvar   history   50

Enjoy,

analysis paralysis - let's form a committee to study the problem again.
