Put the following in your .login:

# Set the DISPLAY variable automatically on rlogins to different machines
setenv HOST    `hostname`
setenv DISPLAY unix:0.0
set me = `who am i`     
if ($#me == 6) then
    setenv DISPLAY `echo $me[6] | sed 's/(\([^:]*\).*)/\1:0/'`
    if ($DISPLAY == "unix:0") then
        setenv DISPLAY "${HOST}:0"
    endif
endif
unset me
