You could combine the two into
  (setenv "PATH" (concat "/usr/texbin:/opt/local/bin:" (getenv "PATH")))
or even
  (setenv "PATH" (concat "/usr/texbin:" "/opt/local/bin:" (getenv "PATH")))

Depends how you start emacs. If you start it from the command line
that should not be necessary, but if you start it from the dock or
finder, things are trickier. Check out

  http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#qa/qa2001/qa1067.html

or do a google search for ".MacOSX/enviroment.plist" for how to set
the environment in those cases.

I am sorry I can't help you with your latest problem, as I don't (yet)
use auc-tex, and neither do I use the macports version of emacs.
