Well, you could put them in your .cshrc, but check for OS before
setting them.  In my .cshrc here at work I have lines like:

if ($OSTYPE == 'linux') then
  #Linux specific stuff
else
  #Solaris stuff
endif

Of course, if you put stuff in your you .cshrc, its gets called
for every new xterm you start which isn't necessary in this case, 
but I don't think that it should cause you any problems. The
more correct.  The more correct place to put xset stuff is
probably your .xinitrc file (that where I have mine), but
depending on how your systems are setup you may not have or
want a .xinitrc file.
