~/.MacOS/environment.plist works in carbon emacs for me. Maybe you have broken syntax or permissions problems.
For example, here is an abridged version of my file <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>JAVA_HOME</key> <string>/Library/Java/Home</string> <key>LANG</key> <string>en_US.UTF-8</string> </dict> </plist> And if I do M-x genenv LANG, I get what I have here.
