I think a default texmf.cnf will set

   OPENTYPEFONTS=".;$TEXMF/fonts/opentype//"

or something along those lines (and similarly for TTFONTS), so  
wherever those branches of the texmf directory tree are found.

Note the inclusion of "." here, which means fonts in (or relative to)  
the current directory can also be used.
