I put some additions in ~/.profile to use DTrace toolkit:

export PATH=.:/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/DTT/Bin
export MANPATH=/usr/gnu/share/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/X11/share/man:/opt/DTT/Man

However, while I can use man for DTrace toolkit (MANPATH is updated), the PATH 
is not updated, and I need to call tools explicitly through /opt/DTT/Bin/... or 
to add this PATH into ~/.bashrc

Either I miss something, or adding some PATH values to .profile doesn't work as 
expected.
