A fragment of my own .bash_profile, to show how you could search for
a mounted texlive and configure for it:

  testl=`mount | grep -i texlive`
  if [ ! "$testl"  ]; then
    echo Mounting TeX Live image\; please wait...
    open /Users/Shared/disk_images/texlive2005.iso
    sleep 10
    testl=`mount | grep -i texlive`
  fi
  TEXMFMAIN=`set $testl; echo $3`
  export TEXMFMAIN=${TEXMFMAIN}/texlive/texmf
  export TEXMFDIST=${TEXMFMAIN}-dist
  export PATH=${TEXMFMAIN%texmf}bin/powerpc-darwin:$BASEPATH
  unset testl
