You need to set it to a dummy directory! See:

No, even that doesn’t help:
echo $OSFONTDIR
/tmp/dummy
and then on a first run (after regnerating the format with this variable
set), I get lines such as
fonts > names > 'OSFONTDIR' specifies path
'/Users/tas/Library/Fonts'
fonts > names > 'OSFONTDIR' specifies path '/Library/Fonts'
fonts > names > 'OSFONTDIR' specifies path

duplicates, 66 hash entries added, runtime 43.223 seconds
So something appears to be overriding the variable that I set. But what?
And why? And how do I stop it?

I don't understand the speed issue. We're talking about relatively few
fonts only and context will not scan them unless there is a change. After
a remake a rescan takes < 9 sec on my laptop and < 6 sec once the
directories have been cached (windows 8 / 64 bit / i7 / ssd).
Only an initial full scan takes a while (deleted cache), but that's mostly
because I have a pretty large font collection in my texmf-fonts tree.
You’re right of course that it’s only the initial run when a new font cache
has to be built, but the time I get on os x is much longer than what you
report:
with rescanning of system fonts:
system | total runtime: 114.131 (yes, that’s almost 2 minutes!)
And I don’t want to twiddle my thumbs for two minutes, and don’t want to
use those “system fonts” (or if I want to use them, I will copy them to my
texmf directories)!
hm, i wonder why that takes so long as i get:
tex tree:
561 tree files identified, 5 skipped, 5 duplicates, 556 hash entries
added, runtime 14.282 seconds
426 tree files identified, 7 skipped, 5 duplicates, 419 hash entries

8 tree files identified, 0 skipped, 0 duplicates, 8 hash entries

added, runtime 0.156 seconds
677 tree files identified, 1 skipped, 1 duplicates, 676 hash entries

system:
2 system files identified, 0 skipped, 0 duplicates, 2 hash entries
added, runtime 0.047 seconds
437 system files identified, 57 skipped, 57 duplicates, 380 hash entries

20 system files identified, 1 skipped, 1 duplicates, 19 hash entries

0 system files identified, 0 skipped, 0 duplicates, 0 hash entries

That is similar to what I get (regular hard drive, no SSD)
mtxrun --script fonts --reload --force | grep time
