It must be the same directory as what packaged TeX Live 2011 creates
(not the same as non-packaged TL 2011 uses).

But I fully agree that something starting with a dot is way more
appropriate than ~/texmf-var. It only has to be the same for both
ConTeXt and other TeX programs inside Fedora.

PS: Imagine that you install both packaged and standalone TL 2011. You
don't want the two to interfere. This is not to say that Fedora should
not create ~/.texlive2011, it's just "a warning".
