It does, but it’s clunky, geeky, and generally out of reach for normal users: One must create a plist in ~/Library/Launchagents and set the EnvironmentVariables key. For those with Macs this is documented in launchd.plist(5). It also seems to change every few years: For 10.7-10.9 there was a plain text file called launchd.conf. Before that there was a special hidden file one could create called something like .MacOSXEnvironment.
