Where to set it? Just as a UNIX environment variable
Yes.
(presumably in my .profile or similar)
First try it on from your shell before hardcoding it in your profile; it would be best not to set it at all, but for the moment we have no other choice.
as a kpse variable (which I don't know how to set)?
In texmf.cnf -- and actually, all kpathsea variables can be overridden in the environment, but this is of no relevance then, because Mark IV doesn't use kpathsea at all. Arthur
