The package you have tried to install that complains is not needed on 
Panther.

tex4ht.sty should be here: 
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/generic/tex4ht/tex4ht.sty after 
a succesful installation of TeX. The stuff you found comes with the 
binaries (too long a astory to explain). So, you need to open your TeX 
i-Package again, choose expert mode and when presented with the choice 
list select TeX4ht to be installed (just TeX4ht will do). Then go 
ahead.

Another reason (and that was last time I saw a support question like 
this) was that there was another TeX on the system (fink's) which 
interfered with command line execution. But first make sure you have 
actually installed TeX4ht.
