I use the following in my .emacs (note: it needs my xml-parse.el
module, http://www.newartisans.com/johnw/Emacs/xml-parse.el):

(when (file-readable-p "~/.MacOSX/environment.plist")
  (with-temp-buffer
    (insert-file-contents "~/.MacOSX/environment.plist")
    (let* ((dict (cdr (assoc "dict" (read-xml)))))
      (while dict
	(when (string= "key" (caar dict))
	  (setenv (car (cdr (car dict)))
		  (car (cdr (cadr dict))))
	  (message "Setting %s=%s" (car (cdr (car dict)))
		   (car (cdr (cadr dict)))))
	(setq dict (cddr dict)))))

  (setq exec-path nil)
  (dolist (path (nreverse (split-string (getenv "PATH") ":")))
    (add-to-list 'exec-path path)))
