No. However, TLU should give you a warning if you have changed
it in a way that will remove group and world read/execute bits.
If you disabled the warning after you saw it, you only see it
once, and it can be reset with
defaults delete com.googlecode.mactlmgr.tlu TLMDisableUmaskWarningKey

I recommend that you use the default umask, and I don't support
modifications to it. The only other suggestion I can make is
that you change ownership of the /usr/local/texlive tree to
your local user, so TeX Live updates will not be installed as root.
(copying the list so this ends up in the archives, also)
