Yes, this one has in its process environment all the variables the
shell has defined, since it runs (from and) in that shell.
From shell you can also use a modern Carbon or Cocoa Emacs (I
presume you're working with Apple's old /usr/bin/emacs 21.2) and it
will have PATH and all other variables set: just launch it as ``/
Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs &´´ – this way you can
also pass arguments and options. Besides you can in such an Emacs
with its own windows (frame) use Preview-LaTeX: particularly
mathematical formulae will be inserted as if in the final PDF output
from LaTeX. And AUCTeX will use faces and colours to emphasise syntax
or document structure.
In case you're thinking of using X11 and the GNU Emacs X client, then
you'll have to use ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist because the X server
is an Aqua application that does not know anything from the shell
level environment. And all its "knowledge" gets inherited by its
clients ... (I've created a little scripts based application to
correct X11)
