I'm sure you can get straightened out... all I have left -not knowing
the CLI enough- would be a reinstall of OS X 10.2.1 (you are using a
fully updated Jaguar, right? and I install the latest shipping Dev
Tools).
I'd do the i-installer thin first, from the desktop (use the check for
latest button); then you simply launch and use TeXShop (downloaded
before or after).
Sorry, to go backwards, but there it is. Don't be discouraged, I do
this all the time on new (and older) machines and it always 'just'
works and everybody loves it.
I do have one more suggestion or two: run the Apple 'fix permissions'
thing from Disk Utility a few times.
And maybe start your machine using 'cmnd+s' and run 'fsck -y' a few
times, too.
Good luck!

p.s. If you want Xfree86 install following these instructions exactly:
http://fink.sourceforge.net/news/jag-bootstrap.php
but you needn't have that for TeXShop or this list.
But that's OT, because for TeX/TeXShop you certainly don't need Xfree
(or Fink).
