As per my suggestion of creating/editing ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist,  
please do not do so if your path looks significantly different than  
mine. To minimize the dangers of this change, ideally the path you  
set in environment.plist should consist of "/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/ 
sbin:" followed by the path to the tex executables. Don't leave any  
things like /sw/bin or /opt/local/bin in there. Hopefully in the  
future you would not need to create/edit this file by setting its  
PATH at all.

The problem is that this file is read by ALL GUI apps, including  
things like installers, which might not expect that PATH to be set  
there, and some technical issues might result from that. As long as  
the path you put there is a typical path, with the four directories  
described above plus the one for TeX, you should be OK. In any case  
the other parts of your path will still be there when you run things  
from the command line.

Also, make sure there are no tabs at the beginning of the path, and  
no returns at the end. The line should really just have <string>  
followed immediately by the /bin... stuff, and then that stuff should  
be followed immediately by </string>.
