The Yosemite man page for launchd.con says that ~/.launchd.conf was never implemented (and won’t be) while /etc/launchd.conf is no longer used.  This seems to be true.  I can verify that /etc/launchd.conf is ignored.  I never tried to use ~/.launchd.conf.  What I do is export some environment variables using launchctl in my shell login script.  Not ideal, but at least they are set after I login in Terminal, which generally happens pretty early in any session.  Note that the launchctl setenv command (and unsetenv and getenv) is deprecated in Yosemite.  When they are removed I don’t know of any other way to set environment variables for the Aqua environment.
