Not as such. I've tracked down how it's finding the profiles in the
custom locations. It's just looking up mac aliases (_not_ symlinks) that
point to the Adobe directories that've been placed in
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ .

So, while it is indeed a system-wide way to add new directories full of
colour profiles, it's not as such a search path.

My bad.
