yes.  from my tor.conf (torrc):

    User devuser
    Group devgrp

checking:

    % ls -ald /var/Process
        drwxrwxr-x  6 devuser devgrp 204 Aug 24 21:35 /var/Process

and:

    % ps -aux
    ...
    devuser   878   0.0  0.4    30424   3472  ??  S     9:17AM   0:06.42 
/usr/local/tor/bin/tor -f /var/Settings/Tor/tor.conf
    ...

all looks as it should ... argh. grumble.
