Currently your PATH in /etc/profile probably reads:
PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin"
export PATH
You can add the directory for latex by changing it to read:
PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/TeX/bin/powerpc-darwin6.8/"
export PATH
I would suggest you use vi to add the path, but that is just my
choice in text editors. In which case you enter on a Terminal prompt:
sudo vi profile
Enter your admin password when prompted. Then in vi press i to enter
INSERT mode. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to where you want
to enter the text. Type in the additional text and hit ESC. Then
type :wq which will write the changes to disk, then quit vi.
You will need to restart the application, but not the computer.
