For this reason I am using ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist. This is the only source where I actively set values. The values are then reused, for example as in:

	export PATH=$(defaults read "${HOME}/.MacOSX/environment" PATH)

To work with PLIST files the defaults utility is used, for other file types different utilities need to be used. Then it plays no role whether MacPorts or whatever alters the environment variable's value.
