No problem.  Every search path in the config file starts with

   OSX:usr:local:teTeX:share:...

so just replace that prefix with the correct path for your teTeX.
Even users of Gerben's installer will have to replace "OSX" with the
name of their OS X start-up volume.

NB. When I drop support for OS 8/9 (probably in 5.1) I will allow
Unix paths in OzTeX config files so you can do things like

input_folders = |
   ~/Library/texmf/tex/** |
   /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/** |
   etc...
