Howdy,

The 64bit binaries are designed to only work with the full MacTeX(TeX Live)-2009 distribution  and can set up the TeX Distribution Preference Pane only for that distribution. 

By the way... why bother having both BasicTeX and MacTeX since MacTeX is a very large superset of BasicTeX?

Good Luck,
