Just saying "Please add ... to your PATH" should be enough IMO.
We currently have the following wording: When you want to use context, you need to initialize the tree by typing: . /path/to/context/tex/setuptex in your shell or add "/path/to/context/tex/texmf-osx-64/bin" to PATH variable if you want to set it permanently. This can usually be done in .bashrc, .bash_profile (or whatever file is used to initialize your shell). But we could remove the part about setuptex and be more explicit by writing down export PATH=... ;) The reason why I use/like setuptex is because I'm nowadays mostly working with TeX Live 2012 and only switch to distribution when I need that (a new feature or when I want to test something). And it far easier to use tab-completion to point to the desired setuptex than to write an explicit "export PATH=..." every time a shell is started. I could of course write my own "distribution switcher". Mojca
