I asked this very same question (phrased a little differently). In your computer name file ( Users directory in unix has two: Shared and the name you gave your computer when you set it up) you'll find Users/computername/Library/Mathematica/Applications/ That is where you put what are called the m files for add on packages. It works here with stuff I had in my Classic packages folder. That where it will look first when you ask it to get the package. It appears that you can have subdirectories in that folder as well.
