Yes.
My pdftex is
pdfTeX (Web2C 7.4.5) 3.14159-1.10b
and that is what I currently distribute through the i-Installer
mechanism. Sebastian normally takes stuff directly from my distribution
so if the binaries in the distribution are still out of date, this is
easy to fix.
At all times, the binaries (+ support like include, lib, etc) I compile
and distribute are in
ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/comp/macosx/i-packages/texbinaries.ii2/
texbinaries.tar.bz2
I regularly update from TeX Live source and update, and I also do it
when Sebastian asks it from me.

PS. I would still like for teTeX and TeX Live to use the same main
texmf structur, so either both with or both without the share
subdirectory. The reason is that it then becomes possible for TeX Live
(CD) users to update their TeX Live installation with the i-Packages I
diustribute and which are updated on a more regular basis.
PPS. IMO it would be nice to have a basic texmf structure also in TeX
Live like this (makes it easier to manage subdistributions etc):
.../bin
.../share/texmf.local
.../share/texmf
.../share/texmf.texlive
.../share/texmf.tetex
.../share/texmf.foo
.../share/texmf.bar
etc. (I prefer the (share) subdir because it so clearly separates the
texmf stuff from the rest).
in .../texmf.cnf one then sets which tree is the main tree, which is
the var tree etc. My version looks like this:
% Our directory setup as explained in $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/README.gwtex
% TEXMFMAIN contains the TEXMF tree installed by make install of the
programs
TEXMFMAIN = $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/texmf
% TEXMFTE contains the main TEXMF tree from teTeX
TEXMFTE = $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/texmf.tetex
% TEXMFGW contains GW specific defaults and additions
TEXMFGW = $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/texmf.gwtex
% TEXMFLOCAL contains any local system TeXadmin overrides
TEXMFLOCAL = $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/texmf.local
% $VARTEXMF is where texconfig writes its local settings
VARTEXMF = $TEXMFLOCAL
% User texmf trees can be catered for like this...
HOMETEXMF = $HOME/Library/texmf
% Our complete search path, the last three are searched through
% ls-R exclusively, which means that you have to run texhash
% after you have added, moved or deleted files in the tree
TEXMF={$HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFGW,!!$TEXMFTE,!!$TEXMFMAIN}
% If you want to disable the HOME trees, use this:
% TEXMF=!!{$TEXMFLOCAL,$TEXMFGW,$TEXMFTE,$TEXMFMAIN}
% The system trees. These are the trees that are shared by all the
users.
SYSTEXMF = $TEXMFLOCAL;$TEXMFGW;$TEXMFTE;$TEXMFMAIN
% Where generated fonts may be written. This tree is used when the
sources
% were found in a system tree and either that tree wasn't writable, or
the
% varfonts feature was enabled in MT_FEATURES in mktex.cnf.
VARTEXFONTS = /var/tmp/texfonts
% Where to look for ls-R files. There need not be an ls-R in the
% directories in this path, but if there is one, Kpathsea will use it.
% This is default set to TEXMF+VARTEXFONTS but without HOMETEXMF
TEXMFDBS = $TEXMFLOCAL;$TEXMFGW;$TEXMFTE;$TEXMFMAIN;$VARTEXFONTS
