Yes, there is a way to achieve such things: ~/.emacs_<login shell>.

I have a similiar setup and included in ~/.emacs_tcsh, because tcsh  
is my login shell:

	echo "Hallöchen!"
	sleep 1
	if (-e ~/.emacs_tcsh-init) source ~/.emacs_tcsh-init && rm  
~/.emacs_tcsh-init

As you can imagine any (t)csh statement can be used. The same is true  
for sh, bash, ksh, ash ... The contents of ~/.emacs_tcsh-init is  
generated from Elisp.


Because this is documented: is it this that you are searching for?
