Erm, I may be misunderstanding ypu but passing stuff into csh should 
not be a problem. As an utterly trivial example:

#!/bin/csh -f

echo $1
echo $2

exit 0

can be run as ./scriptname -f somestuff
outputting:

-f
somestuff

Where is the problem? Once you have your -f inside the script as an 
argument you can interpret it how you want. Like I said I may be 
completely missing the point here.
