If I were to do this and wanted it to survive an ugrade, I think I would
put a shell script containing 
export PATH=$PATH:/newpath
 in /etc/profile.d

IIRC as long as it is named *.sh then I believe it will get run on
login.  Since it is not tweaking any of the package provided progs any
upgrade either of the entire system or the setup package should leave it
in place.
