This may be useless. I tried the following on my machine (Arch Linux
x86_64, TL 2010 pretest, updated at mon. 2010-06-07 from ctex.org):

$ texconfig-sys init ; texconfig init

These commands create two fmt file:
(1) /usr/local/opt/texlive/2010/texmf-var/web2c/luatex/luatex.fmt
(2) /home/lomov/.texlive2010/texmf-var/web2c/luatex/luatex.fmt

and here they md5sums:
189eee08006a01b8ff5bf64208a5463c  /usr/local/opt/texlive/2010/texmf-var/web2c/luatex/luatex.fmt
d0d8d5718062a1f24ec17b9c8b42a1df  /home/lomov/.texlive2010/texmf-var/web2c/luatex/luatex.fmt

Shouldn't they be identical?

Very few things actually get manufactured these days, because in an
infinitely large Universe, such as the one in which we live, most things one
could possibly imagine, and a lot of things one would rather not, grow
somewhere.  A forest was discovered recently in which most of the trees grew
ratchet screwdrivers as fruit.  The life cycle of the ratchet screwdriver is
quite interesting.  Once picked it needs a dark dusty drawer in which it can
lie undisturbed for years.  Then one night it suddenly hatches, discards its
outer skin that crumbles into dust, and emerges as a totally unidentifiable
little metal object with flanges at both ends and a sort of ridge and a hole
for a screw.  This, when found, will get thrown away.  No one knows what the
screwdriver is supposed to gain from this.  Nature, in her infinite wisdom,
is presumably working on it.
