Yes, that would be possible (but you would also have to set the PATH  
variable). Another idea on Mac OS X is the use of an environment.plist  
which will set variables for all GUI applications. I'm not very much  
in favor of that, though, because it has created problems in the past  
with Geben Wierda's TeX installer. Since I spend much of my time in a  
terminal window anyway, I find it easiest to start emacs and/or gvim  
from there.
