Maybe I'm wroing, but didn't it do that already? It said Setting "/Users/hans/TeX/context/current/tex" as TEXROOT Well, it has complained a bit, but it nevertheless did it :) setuptex tries to be clever about acceping an argument to pass some other path. I don't know how shell expansion works, but it might indeed be working a bit weird. If you wrap the script setuptex into some other script, you could just as well only set PATH (and maybe TEXMFCACHE).
