Can't see how as I only installed it yesterday and tried texdoc almost 
immediately. The only thing I did was change the location of the tex 
engine in TeXShop. Anyway, here's the contents of texmf.cnf

% Our directory setup as explained in $SELFAUTOPARENT/README.gwtex
% TEXMFMAIN contains the TEXMF tree installed by make install of the 
programs
TEXMFMAIN = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf
% TEXMFTL contains (a subset of) the main TEXMF tree from TeX Live
TEXMFTL = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf.texlive
% TEXMFGW contains GW specific defaults and additions
TEXMFGW = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf.gwtex
% TEXMFPKGS contains stuff installed on-top-of your installation that may
% hide existing older implementations and that may be removed
TEXMFPKGS = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf.pkgs
% TEXMFLOCAL contains any local system TeXadmin overrides
TEXMFLOCAL = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf.local
% $VARTEXMF is where texconfig writes its local settings
VARTEXMF = $TEXMFLOCAL
% User texmf trees can be catered for like this...
HOMETEXMF = $HOME/Library/texmf

% Our complete search path, the last three are searched through
% ls-R exclusively, which means that you have to run texhash
% after you have added, moved or deleted files in the tree
TEXMF={$HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFPKGS,!!$TEXMFGW,!!$TEXMFTL,!!$TEXMFMAIN}

% If you want to disable the HOME trees, use this:
% TEXMF=!!{$TEXMFLOCAL,TEXMFPKGS$TEXMFGW,$TEXMFTL,$TEXMFMAIN}

% The system trees.  These are the trees that are shared by all the users.
SYSTEXMF = $TEXMFLOCAL;TEXMFPKGS;$TEXMFGW;$TEXMFTL;$TEXMFMAIN

% Where generated fonts may be written.  This tree is used when the sources
% were found in a system tree and either that tree wasn't writable, or the
% varfonts feature was enabled in MT_FEATURES in mktex.cnf.
VARTEXFONTS = /var/tmp/texfonts

% teTeX-3.0 and TL2005+ require these. Note, if you want pre-2005 behaviour,
% set GWTEXVAR to VARTEXMF. That makes foo and foo-sys behave the same
% roughly and close to old-style). Setting GWTEXVAR to HOMETEXMF gives you
% new (incompatible) behaviour
GWTEXVAR=$VARTEXMF
TEXMFVAR = $GWTEXVAR
TEXMFCONFIG = $GWTEXVAR
TEXMFSYSCONFIG = $VARTEXMF
TEXMFSYSVAR = $VARTEXMF

% Where to look for ls-R files.  There need not be an ls-R in the
% directories in this path, but if there is one, Kpathsea will use it.
% This is default set to TEXMF+VARTEXFONTS but without HOMETEXMF
TEXMFDBS = $TEXMFLOCAL;$TEXMFPKGS;$TEXMFGW;$TEXMFTL;$TEXMFMAIN;$VARTEXFONTS

% Make font tfm files is mf files are available
MKTEXTFM = 1

% Make fonts when unavailable (not all fonts are available for pdf directly)
% Useful when using non-pdf-available fonts and going the 
tex->dvi->ps->pdf route
MKTEXPK.pdftex = 1
MKTEXPK.pdflatex = 1
MKTEXPK.pdfetex = 1
MKTEXPK.pdfelatex = 1

% Enable \write18 (run shell processes from within TeX job)
% Set to t if needed
% (I think this might have security implications, especially if you
% run tex jobs as administrator, so I keep it turned off by default
shell_escape = f

% Fixes for mixing old and new style locations in TL2004 (according to
% Hans Hagen), adapted in 2006
TEXPSHEADERS		= 
.;$TEXMF/{fonts/{enc,map,type1,truetype},dvips,pdftex,tex}//;$TEXMF/{etex,tex,pdftex,dvips,fonts/type1}//
