on some systems, the shells are configured to use a system initialization
file (usually under /etc).  Looks like NetBSD isn't one of those - all
of the relevant files that I see under /etc are setting PATH explicitly
and not designed for reuse.  The closest would be the tweak for local
paths in /etc/defaults/rc.conf
