Touching your PATH to point to 9PREFIX/bin has never been required. (The wmii scripts prepend the PATH with 9PREFIX/bin, but only for internal use. If external programs are run from wmiirc or they are started by the 'extern' script shipped with wmii, which resets the original PATH and removes all crap from your environment, which is wmii related.)
