No. You would create root-woned hash index for a subpart of your personal
texmf tree. I have no idea what would happen, but I think it woul dbe
ignored.

And also you should not do

    texhash ~/Library/texmf

unless your perosnal texmf tree is huge. ~/Library/texmf is usable without
an index, but as soon as you add one, you have to update it every time you
change something and that is easy to forget. So, forget about texhash when
you are using your personal texmf tree

All of this of course assuming you use my redistribution.
