The simplest way is probably to use $path instead. That is a list
variable that is kept in sync with $PATH

path=(  /home/$USER/bin/$OSTYPE			# arch dependent binaries
	/home/$USER/bin				# arch independent scripts
	/usr/local/bin				# local apps
	/opt/gnu/bin				# gnu tools
	...
     )

(It works for me, at least)
