Sorry, I made a typo:

$ locate texmf.cnf
/etc/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf		# real; make a backup!
/etc/texmf/texmf.d/00texmf.cnf		
		-- forget it - just a template, it'll overwrite your when
		updating
/usr/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf	-- link
/var/lib/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf		-- link

I just compiled and installed pdftex 1.30.4 without problems.
But to be safe, in the Build script include "--prefix=/usr" in the
config options if you have the main tree in /usr/share/texmf.
You'll also have a ~/.texmf-var - this is where I put the ConTeXt files.
As in the wiki, you have to run fmtutil-sys --refresh afterwards

Luck
