I guess you need to configure this settings in your $HOME/.MacOSX/ 
environment.plist instead. I think TextMate doesn't use a shell or at  
least doesn't load your $HOME/.bash_profile file to run those commands.

If the file $HOME/.MacOSX/environment.plist doesn't exist on your  
home, you can execute the following commands on your Terminal:

mkdir ~/.MacOSX
touch ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist
open ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist

The last command will launch Property List Editor. If you don't have a  
line with "PATH" in there, you need to add another item (by clicking  
"Add Item") of String type, and add the same thing as you've seen on  
your .bash_profile. If it already exists, you can only put the  
location of your MAMP php bin directory (which in my case is / 
Applications/MAMP/bin).

Remember that applications launched by you outside Terminal usually  
don't read your ~/.bash_profile settings file.

You can find more information about environment.plist on this[1]  
article, and even a Python application to copy all your environment  
variables to your environment.plist to keep them in sync.

By the way, it seems you configured wrongly your .bash_profile: you've  
used /Applications/MAMP/conf instead of /Applications/MAMP/bin.

Hope this helps!
