3 mutually-exclusive suggestions
1. Switching from Sun's SSH to a truly current and regularly updated OpenSSH based on a set of packages provided by CSW packaging home or Blastwave.org - An OpenSolaris Community Site, I prefer the former. You can keep most, if not all, of the Sun SSH settings you have sshd_config & ssh_config, but now you have the option of newer features/settings to use and will likely have better compatibility and synchronicity with Linux-based SSH servers.
2. Depending on what you are running on the remote server side, you can set an environment as part of your command sequence, based on your target shell
ssh user@sshServer "setenv myVarName myVarValue; /usr/bin/tcsh"
3. Write a script that creates an "export file" of variables you want imported on the remote shell, copy them with SCP to a standard location. Setup your environment shell file to source the copied export file if the $SSH_CONNECTION and $SSH_CLIENT variables are set in some fashion (as specific as you'd want to get). Then SSH as normal. Obviously this works a lot better if you are using public/private key authentication to avoid the double password prompt.

pscp

pscp(1) 							 PuTTY tool suite							   pscp(1)

NAME

       pscp - command-line SCP (secure copy) / SFTP client

SYNOPSIS

       pscp [options] [user@]host:source target
       pscp [options] source [source...] [user@]host:target
       pscp [options] -ls [user@]host:filespec

DESCRIPTION

       pscp is a command-line client for the SSH-based SCP (secure copy) and SFTP (secure file transfer protocol) protocols.

OPTIONS

       The command-line options supported by pscp are:

       -V     Show version information and exit.

       -pgpfp Display the fingerprints of the PuTTY PGP Master Keys and exit, to aid in verifying new files released by the PuTTY team.

       -ls    Remote directory listing.

       -p     Preserve file attributes.

       -q     Quiet, don't show statistics.

       -r     Copy directories recursively.

       -unsafe
	      Allow server-side wildcards (DANGEROUS).

       -v     Show verbose messages.

       -load session
	      Load settings from saved session.

       -P port
	      Connect to port port.

       -l user
	      Set remote username to user.

       -batch Disable interactive prompts.

       -pw password
	      Set  remote  password to password. CAUTION: this will likely make the password visible to other users of the local machine (via com-
	      mands such as `w').

       -1     Force use of SSH protocol version 1.

       -2     Force use of SSH protocol version 2.

       -C     Enable SSH compression.

       -i path
	      Private key file for authentication.

       -scp   Force use of SCP protocol.

       -sftp  Force use of SFTP protocol.

MORE INFORMATION

       For more information on pscp it's probably best to go and look at the manual on the PuTTY web page:

       http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

BUGS

       This man page isn't terribly complete. See the above web link for better documentation.
