Dear Nils,

The thing I always do is just copy the new style files into a directory 
that is somewhere under /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex and issue the texhash 
command. But I take it that you don't want to do that?
Otherwise, you might want to modify the texmf.cnf file, where you can 
add search paths - unfortunately only before compiling the TeX system, 
as far as I know. Probably the folks from TUG know more...

Cordially,
Peter
