Check out "User Session Environment Variables" here:

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPRuntimeConfig/Articles/EnvironmentVars.html

Basically you create ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist and fill it with what you want.  I use the Fink project stuff on MacOS so I modify for emacs INFOPATH, MANPATH, PATH, XML_CATALOG_FILES, and SGML_CATALOG_FILES, such as:

...
  <key>INFOPATH</key>
  <string>/sw/share/info:/sw/info:/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/info</string>
...
  <key>PATH</key>
  <string>/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/Users/YOURNAME/usr/bin:/Users/YOURNAME/usr/mongodb/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin</string>
...
