I use ~/.bash_profile to set my environment and it gets picked up by  
leopard's terminal.

Add a PATH shell variable in TextMate (in the prefs>advanced>shell  
variables) which includes /usr/texbin

or

Set the path in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist and it gets picked up by  
all applications.
For example mine is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple 
.
com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
         <key>EDITOR</key>
         <string>mate -w</string>
         <key>LC_CTYPE</key>
         <string>en_US.UTF-8</string>
         <key>PATH</key>
         <string>/usr/texbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/Developer/ 
Tools:/usr
/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin</string>
</dict>
</plist>
PS: if I remember well you need to log out and back in for changes to  
this file to be picked up.
PPS: For some reason, you also have to set the PATH in ~/.bash_profile  
for use in Terminal since Terminal rereads its environment on startup  
(and hence overwrites the PATH you set here). There must be a way to  
avoid this and have only one place where the environment is set but I  
could not make it work on my machine.
