That goes beyond what usercommands can do, you'll need a script or plugin.
Something like:

int
dcc_cb (char *word[], char *word_eol[], void *userdata)
{
	if (!strcasecmp(word[2], "SEND"))
	{
		find user's hostname using xchat_list_get()...
		system("dccsend ...........");
		return XCHAT_EAT_XCHAT;
	}

	return XCHAT_EAT_NONE;	// let xchat do the normal dcc command
}

xchat_hook_command(ph, "DCC", XCHAT_PRI_NORM, dcc_cb, 0);

Also, this "dccsend" program needs to tell the receiver that it's offering a file.
How do you expect it to send a ctcp to the IRC server? I guess you plugin/script
would need to send that after doing the system().

A better option might be to implement "passive" dcc sends (receives are already
supported). I think there was a patch floating around somewhere...
