Yeah, you have to take care to quote all the directories that you work 
with. As long as you do that, it should handle parentheses just fine.

% setenv PATH "$PATH":"/usr/bin (x86)"
% echo $PATH
/cygdrive/c/Apps/bin:/cygdrive/c/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin:/cygdrive/c/Apps/bin:/cygdrive/c/Apps/emacs-21.3/bin:/cygdrive/c/ant/bin:/cygdrive/c/java5/bin:/
usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/Program 
Files/cvsnt:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Rational/common:/usr/bin (x86)
% ls
3rdparty/             common/               scripts/

Looks good to me..
