Actually Environment variables work pretty well on OS X because they've
set up a standard place to put them, and it's one of those plist files.
See here for details.

It would be nice though to have a standard fallback location for the
LDRAWDIR and LDRAWSEARCH paths. Somewhere generic like:
/Library/Preferences/org.ldraw.mac.plist
or
~/Library/Preferences/org.ldraw.mac.plist
I'll have to go back and see what we said about it over the summer.
