Not necessarily; all that is really needed is to put a texmf.cnf file
where the binaries will find it. I think putting it in the same dir
as the binary itself should work. Then all the other paths can be
explicitly specified in there.
But I'd highly recommend putting the binaries in the standard bin
directory instead, so that you don't have to worry about any other
paths.
