Mavericks does not ship with a ~/bin directory, but found I ran into trouble trying to install the subl command in any of the low-level system bin directories. I found the following solution worked neatly:

Create a ~/bin directory for your user:

mkdir ~/bin

Add the subl command as per the Sublime Text documentation:

ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" ~/bin/subl

Open /etc/paths in your (second) favourite text editor:

sudo vi /etc/paths

Add the active user's ~/bin folder. Here's how mine looked after I'd added ~/bin:

~/bin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/bin
