There are two locations that come to mind:
~/Library/texmf/...
/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/...
I use the latter and had to edit (use the smaller
mactex-basictex-20180417.pkg)
/usr/local/texlive/2018basic/texmf.cnf
to make TEXMFLOCAL look like
TEXMFLOCAL = /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local
so that
texhash
can find the local tree.
The layout point is of course a good one, anyway.
