Not sure anything is wrong.  Your binaries should be available from
the shell (Terminal.app) as

/usr/texbin/tex
/usr/texbin/latex
/usr/texbin/xetex
/usr/texbin/luatex

-- etc., etc.  You can also try using the TeXShop application (which
will be in Applications --> TeX on the Macintosh HD) if you prefer a
GUI to the shell+Emacs route.
