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.

ssh-copy-id
SSH-COPY-ID(1) General Commands Manual SSH-COPY-ID(1)
NAME
ssh-copy-id - install your public key in a remote machine's authorized_keys
SYNOPSIS
ssh-copy-id [-i [identity_file]] [user@]machine
DESCRIPTION
ssh-copy-id is a script that uses ssh to log into a remote machine and append the indicated identity file to that machine's ~/.ssh/autho-
rized_keys file.
If the -i option is given then the identity file (defaults to ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) is used, regardless of whether there are any keys in your
ssh-agent. Otherwise, if this:
ssh-add -L
provides any output, it uses that in preference to the identity file.
If the -i option is used, or the ssh-add produced no output, then it uses the contents of the identity file. Once it has one or more fin-
gerprints (by whatever means) it uses ssh to append them to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote machine (creating the file, and directory,
if necessary.)
NOTES
This program does not modify the permissions of any pre-existing files or directories. Therefore, if the remote sshd has StrictModes set in
its configuration, then the user's home, ~/.ssh folder, and ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file may need to have group writability disabled manu-
ally, e.g. via
chmod go-w ~ ~/.ssh ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
on the remote machine.
