This works. Instead of escaping, I just encapsulated within single-quotes:

acct-dev: ISP-RADIUS % grep srm /home/steve/.cshrc
alias srm       '/usr/bin/find . -name "*~" | /usr/bin/xargs rm'

I didn't test your theory, but thanks for the tip. I've just become
accustomed over the years to use xargs when making bulk rm's ;)
