Files in the teTeX.texmf.local tree shouldn't be overwritten by an
update either, that's why they bear the label "local", but the
~/Library/texmf/ tree should be just as fine. They way I like to think
of it is that the non standard files desired to be available to all
system users in a multi user workstation should go in teTeX.texmf.local/
and the non standard files that a particular user wants to use without
sharing with other users should go in the private ~/Library/texmf tree.
I think that's the most organized way to do it, but that's just my
taste...
On the other hand, are you sure Martin that they files in the
~/Library/texmf tree don't need "texhash" run on them to become
available?
Regards,...
Juan.
