Not that I'm aware of. Here's my 10.4.2 .profile file-I'm using the
system-wide /etc/bashrc file w/o modification:

##
# DELUXE-USR-LOCAL-BIN-INSERT
# (do not remove this comment)
##
echo $PATH | grep -q -s "/usr/local/bin"
if [ $? -eq 1 ] ; then
    PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/Developer/Tools
    export PATH
fi
export MANPATH="/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man"

And here're the relevant entries from the set command:

MANPATH=/usr/share/man:/usr/local/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/Developer/Tools
