The Finder on the Mac (that starts emacs) doesn't look at /etc/profile, etc. For a particular user, it does look at ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist
Its a "property list" thing that is normal for Mac settings. You can find it documented more on Mac forums and those kinds of places.
e.g. http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#qa/qa1067/_index.html
If you are talking about shells started within emacs, thats a different matter.
HTH,
