You don't have to change texmf.cnf in any way. To make the TeX system find
your xxx.tex and xxx.sty files, you just have to put anywhere in
texmf/tex/ or one of its sub[sub[sub]]directories and to update the file
index "ls-R".

Since opustex files can be used by both tex and latex, I would recommend
you to put them in texmf/tex/generic/opustex/.

So, make a directory "opustex" in texmf/tex/generic/, put all the tex and
sty files from opustex there and update the file index "ls-R" by typing

texconfig rehash

And you're done. Do not try to change texmf.cnf unless you really know
what you are doing.
