That is hopefully a thing of the past. I just checked all the
texmf.cnf files it sees, and it's only the system default even though
I have ~/.texmf-{config,var} directories made by tetex.
$ kpsewhere texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
This global texmf.cnf includes those two directories by default (at
least with tetex-3.0). A snip from there:
TEXMFHOME = $HOME/texmf
TEXMFVAR = $HOME/.texmf-var
TEXMFCONFIG = $HOME/.texmf-config
TEXMF =
{$TEXMFCONFIG,$TEXMFVAR,$TEXMFHOME,$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFDIST}
