Gate currently doesn't work with Geant4.6.
The most recent Geant version compatible with Gate is 4.5.2p2
Geant 4.6.x can be installed as a Fink package or directely
Geant 4.5.2 can be installed as indicated in the installation guide

With Jaguar, the default shell was tcsh, i.e. an offshoot of csh.
With Panther, the default shell is bash, i.e. a progeny of sh.
There are tons of threads comparing the advantages of sh vs. csh, but 
this is not the point.
The most important thing is that you can choose your default shell, in 
/application/utilities/netinfomanager
I think that if you use sh, ksh, bash, you'll have a .login (or will 
put the enviroment variables in a .login)
If you go for csh, tcsh, you'll use a .cshrc, or .tcshrc

I use tcsh
This is my .tcshrc file
> [3:43pm manu ~]% more .tcshrc

>  source ~/tcsh_conf/path
> #

You can see that I create a folder tcsh_conf, in which I have several 
config files, alias, geantconf, environnement and path
For example, my geantconf file contains:
> ##### Geant4 general setting ####
>  setenv G4INSTALL /Users/manu/projets/geant/geant4.5.2.p02
>  setenv G4WORKDIR /Users/manu/projets/geant/geant4.5.2.p02
> ########### root config #############
>  setenv ROOTSYS  /Users/manu/projets/root
> #
>  if ( ! $?DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH ) then
>   setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH "$ROOTSYS/lib"
>  else
>   setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH "$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH":"$ROOTSYS/lib"
>  endif
> #
>  if ( ! $?LD_LIBRARY_PATH ) then
>   setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "$ROOTSYS/lib"
>  else
>   setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH":"$ROOTSYS/lib"
>  endif
> ########### Gate config #############
>  setenv CVS_RSH ssh
>  setenv CVSROOT :ext:mbardies at lphe1pet1.epfl.ch:/home/gate/cvs

Hope this helps...
