I have this little hack called xdsp, and some code I put in my .login
file that I call xpickup.  Here it is:

#!/bin/sh
# Usage: execute this script in your xterm line -- xterm -e xdsp <machine>
xhost $*
TERM=xt.$DISPLAY
export TERM
exec /usr/ucb/rsh $*
exit

# This hair unpacks the TERM variable into DISPLAY (xpickup)
if (($TERM =~ xt?.*) || ($TERM =~ xt.*)) then
  setenv DISPLAY `echo $TERM | sed 's/xt[^.]*\.//'`
  set term = xterm
  setenv TERM xterm
  unsetenv LOGIN
  setenv NOTLOGIN 0
endif
