Yes, but texconfig copies all modified configurartion files to another directory so that your configuration will not be lost when you install a newer teTeX release. Note that there had been a significant change in teTeX-3.0: Each user can now have personal configuration files in $TEXMFHOME. Editing the config files manually is quite dangerous unless you know exactly how teTeX works. And you don't make use of all the good features provided by teTeX.
