It will, but you will have to startup the Terminal.app in order to
get the environment variables.
I agree that .profile updating is simpler. But now your environment
variables are set even if you start Lilypond, Emacs or jEdit from the
Finder.
you can set them globally for every program by creating a
environment.plist in ~/.MacOSX with the following content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>PATH</key>
<string>/Users/arjanbos/bin:/sw/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/
sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin</string> </dict>
</plist>
The bash way (ie the standard unix way) looks a lot simpler. In
addition, anybody familiar with unix will already know how to do it.

Nature abhors dimensional abnormalities, and seals them neatly away
so that they don't upset people. Nature, in fact, abhors a lot of
things, including vacuums, ships called the "Marie Celeste", and the
chuck keys for electric drills.
