TeX Live comes with a utility, fmtutil-sys. It allows to create FMT files for
the *system*. Private FMT files can be created with fmtutil. The former is kind
of a wrapper for the latter, so the only man page exists for the latter. The
script also gives some hints when invoked with --help.
It's also possible to create a local "patch file" for the fmtutil configure
file, /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/web2c/fmtutil-local.cnf. To apply that
"patch" you'll need to run tlmgr and make it regenerate the configure files.
This procedure is described in some top level TeX Live documentation, maybe
doc.html.
