What are you using now? In dpxfile.c from (x)dvipdfmx one can find

# if defined(__TDS_VERSION__) && __TDS_VERSION__ >= 0x200406L
  fqpn = kpse_find_file(filename, kpse_enc_format, 0);
# else
  fqpn = kpse_find_file(filename, kpse_tex_ps_header_format, 0);
# endif

On a TDS 1.0 system, TEXPSHEADERS is used to search for .enc files,
while ENCFONTS is used on a TDS 1.1 system. At least on teTeX 3.0,
TEXPSHEADERS also contains TEXMF/fonts/enc, although I think ENCFONTS is
prefered now.

I don't know if it would be better to switch to ENCFONTS or to support
both paths, as Peter has suggested for map files. TDS 1.1 is by now
almost two years old, and, eg, TeX Live 2004 implemented it. But I don't
know what versions are common on Macs.
