usermode:~# set
...
TERM=linux
...

usermode:~# echo $$
129
usermode:/proc# ps alx | grep 129
100     0   129     1 -10   0  2004 1196      - S    ttys/0     0:00 -bash

So its parent is init.

usermode:~# cd /proc/1
usermode:/proc/1# more environ 
HOME=/
TERM=linux
mem=128M

and in init/main.c there is this for init's environment:

static char * envp_init[MAX_INIT_ENVS+2] = { "HOME=/", "TERM=linux", NULL, };

so it looks pretty well hardwired.

I would just stick it in your .profile or something.
