brought:
/Users/mhofert/.launchd.conf:setenv PATH /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/texbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin

I executed:
echo setenv PATH $PATH  >> ~/.launchd.conf
echo setenv PATH $PATH | launchctl

Now a new start of Aquamacs and M-x shell -> echo $PATH bring:
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/texbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/texbin:/usr/local/texlive/2011/bin

Terminal.app gives me:
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/texbin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin

=> still not equal.
