Most, if not all, unix software allows for such customizations
somewhere under $HOME.
I put this in my .emacs:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/src/elisp")
and all my .el and .elc files under ~/src/elisp/.
I'm pretty sure my fink teTeX and pdflatex make fonts in
/var/tmp/texfonts, but (a) I don't know why and (b) I admit to
being somewhat baffled by TeX's multitude of directory structures.
I have a few .sty files in the local directories where I put the
relevant .tex files, and thankfully haven't needed anything more
complicated than that yet.
In a multi-user situation, you can always make ~/src/elisp/ (e.g.)
at least readable by everyone else.
HTH,
