The best way to handle this is to create a symoblic link:
sudo ln -s /Applications/MATLAB_R2011a.app/bin/matlab /usr/bin/matlab
I updated
https://kepler-project.org/developers/teams/build/setting-up-mac-os-x-to-use-the-matlab-interface

Unfortunately, adding a PATH variable to ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist
has the undesired effect of overriding the previous settings, which
in the default is 
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Applications/Kepler-2.3/Kepler.app/Contents/Resources/Java/r-2.3.0/lib:/Applications/Kepler-2.3/Kepler.app/Contents/Resources/Java/common-2.3.0/lib/ptolemy/matlab:/Applications/Kepler-2.3/Kepler.app/Contents/Resources/Java/common-2.3.0/lib:/Applications/Kepler-2.3/Kepler.app/Contents/Resources/Java/ptolemy-kepler-2.3.0/lib/ptolemy-lib


One possibility is to set PATH to
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Applications/MATLAB_R2011a.app/bin
but this seems risky since the PATH might include
