Those search paths are hard coded and can be ignored - mgs -h gives non-existent paths on my system but still works (mine is installed in C:\Program Files\GhostScript). Again, I think that MiKTeX sets the environment correctly when mgs is actually called to override the hard-coded paths.
Christian Schenk has (quite vehemently, IIRC!) declared on the MiKTeX that mgs.exe should be considered internal and shouldn't be called on its own (therefore, if you want to use GhostScript directly, the "official" advice is to install it separately as well and let MikTeX just its own...)
