A new release of mksh was made so I fired up cygport to package it and

cygport (I'm running cygport 0.22.0).  Is there a new function that's
replaced "update_etc_shells"?

It was just a proposed patch but got lost among other things.  I just pushed
it into git master.

Can somebody please quickly explain what changes this requires in, say,
a potential tcsh cygport script?

tcsh is actually the example in the documentation. :-) Add the following to src_install():

update_etc_shells /bin/tcsh /bin/csh

But I think we need to coordinate this with an updated base-cygwin.
