I think that /etc/profile *is* read by login shells (at least it says so in bash man page). If you are creating users then maybe put a default .profile in /etc/skel and it will be copied into each home dir by useradd. PATH=$PATH:/usr/custom/bin:/usr/local/qt/bin will take the current PATH (usually set from /etc/profile) and add the rest to it.
