Only two, but that's one more than most unix users are accustomed to.

Almost for sure. This is a faq, or at least it should be.
To get the right environment for Finder- (or Dock-) launched
applications, put the definitions in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist.
This is an xml file which you can edit as text (in emacs, for instance
:) or, if you have the Developer Tools loaded, via Property List
Editor. Or, for that matter, with any other gui xml editor.
The plist dtd is trivial, just a series of key/value pairs, like this:
<key>PATH</key>
<string>/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin</string>
You'll need to logout and back in again for changes to this file to
take effect.
