texmf.cnf in the root of the installation, i.e. in the same dir as the 
bin sits in.

in ours I have

% This texmf.cnf file should contain only your personal changes from the
% main texmf.cnf.
%
% Do NOT change values in the main file (which is in
% .../texlive/YYYY/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf), as YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST
% by later updates.
%
% If you need to make changes to texmf.cnf, put your custom settings in
% this file instead, which is YYYY/texmf.cnf.  And insert *only* your
% changed values.
%
TEXMFLOCAL = $SELFAUTOPARENT/texmf-local

% Specific Depth. Math. Sciences, Aarhus University TEXMF tree
TEXMFIMF = $SELFAUTOPARENT/../texmf-imf

% addimg IMF tree
TEXMF = 
{$TEXMFCONFIG,$TEXMFVAR,$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFIMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFDIST}
SYSTEXMF = $TEXMFSYSVAR;$TEXMFMAIN;$TEXMFIMF;$TEXMFLOCAL;$TEXMFDIST
TEXMFDBS = 
{!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFIMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFDIST,!!$TEXMFDOC}

Because some fonts gets installed in texmf-local using 
getnonsfreefonts-sys I tend to place our own stuff in a seperate texmf tree
