Yeah, stuff like that.

This is what I use (doesn't produce exactly what was asked for, but
one can get there with a little bit of work 8-):

set hostname=`hostname | sed -e 's/\..*//' | tr A-Z a-z`
if ( $?prompt ) then
        if ( "`whoami`" == "root" ) then
                set promptchar='#'
        else    
                set promptchar='%'
        endif
        set promptmod=''
        alias prmpt     'set prompt="\! [$hostname] $cwd:t ${promptmod}${promptchar} "'
        alias cd        "cd \!* ; prmpt"
        alias pushd     "pushd \!* ; prmpt"
        alias popd      "popd \!* ; prmpt"

        cd $cwd
endif



That produces something like:

hist# [first_part_of_hostname] last_part_of_cwd % 

and keeps it up to date as you move around.  8-)
