BE VERY CAREFUL DOING THIS.  By default, tcsh is dynamically linked
against libraries in /usr/lib.  If the system becomes unusable, and you
need to boot into single-user mode, tcsh will NOT work.  You must build a
statically linked version of tcsh.  To do this:

(make sure you have a current version of the tcsh port)
# cd /usr/ports/shells/tcsh
# make configure
# cd work/tcsh-6.09.00
# vi Makefile
(go to line 154)
(uncomment line 154)
# cd ../..
# make
# cd work/tcsh-6.09.00
# strip tcsh
# cp tcsh /bin
# chmod 555 /bin/tcsh
# chown root.wheel tcsh
# vi /etc/shells
(add an entry for /bin/tcsh)
# vipw
(change root's shell)

After that, you should have a statically-linked version of the binary.
This will let root use tcsh, and allow root to use it in single-user mode.
