No. You need to edit /usr/local/teTeX/texmf.local to get the previous 
behaviour. Where it says:

You can change the first variable to

GWTEXVAR=$HOMETEXMF

to get the default TL2004-TL2005 (TL2003 and before incompatible) 
behaviour. I notice now that the comment is wrong. Sigh. That is what 
you get when you're in a hurry. I cannot change that before Monday.
