What you are seeing are the compiled-in defaults (which relate to how  
TeX is built on my system). They should normally not be visible because  
texmf.cnf is being read and that one contains the right settings:

$ kpsewhich --show-path 8r.enc
.:/Volumes/Data/Users/gerben/Library/texmf/fonts/enc//:!!/usr/local/ 
teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/enc//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/ 
texmf.gwtex/fonts/enc//:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/fonts/enc/ 
/:!!/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/fonts/enc//

My guess is that /usr/local/teTeX/texmf.cnf is gone or broken. This is  
the problem, most likely.

$ find /usr/local/teTeX -name texmf.cnf
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf
/usr/local/teTeX/texmf.cnf

/usr/local/teTeX/texmf.cnf should contain:
=====================================================
% Our directory setup as explained in $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/README.gwtex
% TEXMFMAIN contains the TEXMF tree installed by make install of the  
programs
TEXMFMAIN = $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/texmf
% TEXMFTE contains the main TEXMF tree from teTeX
TEXMFTE = $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/texmf.tetex
% TEXMFGW contains GW specific defaults and additions
TEXMFGW = $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/texmf.gwtex
% TEXMFLOCAL contains any local system TeXadmin overrides
TEXMFLOCAL = $SELFAUTOPARENT/share/texmf.local
% $VARTEXMF is where texconfig writes its local settings
VARTEXMF = $TEXMFLOCAL
% User texmf trees can be catered for like this...
HOMETEXMF = $HOME/Library/texmf

% Our complete search path, the last three are searched through
% ls-R exclusively, which means that you have to run texhash
% after you have added, moved or deleted files in the tree
TEXMF={$HOMETEXMF,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFGW,!!$TEXMFTE,!!$TEXMFMAIN}

% If you want to disable the HOME trees, use this:
% TEXMF=!!{$TEXMFLOCAL,$TEXMFGW,$TEXMFTE,$TEXMFMAIN}

% The system trees.  These are the trees that are shared by all the  
users.
SYSTEXMF = $TEXMFLOCAL;$TEXMFGW;$TEXMFTE;$TEXMFMAIN

% Where generated fonts may be written.  This tree is used when the  
sources
% were found in a system tree and either that tree wasn't writable, or  
the
% varfonts feature was enabled in MT_FEATURES in mktex.cnf.
VARTEXFONTS = /var/tmp/texfonts

% Where to look for ls-R files.  There need not be an ls-R in the
% directories in this path, but if there is one, Kpathsea will use it.
% This is default set to TEXMF+VARTEXFONTS but without HOMETEXMF
TEXMFDBS = $TEXMFLOCAL;$TEXMFGW;$TEXMFTE;$TEXMFMAIN;$VARTEXFONTS

% Make font tfm files is mf files are available
MKTEXTFM = 1

% Make fonts when unavailable (not all fonts are available for pdf  
directly)
% Useful when using non-pdf-available fonts and going the  
tex->dvi->ps->pdf route
MKTEXPK.pdftex = 1
MKTEXPK.pdflatex = 1
MKTEXPK.pdfetex = 1
MKTEXPK.pdfelatex = 1

% Enable \write18 (run shell processes from within TeX job)
% Set to t if needed
% (I think this might have security implications, especially if you
% run tex jobs as administrator, so I keep it turned off by default
shell_escape = f

% Fixes for mixing old and new style locations in TL2004 (according to  
Hans Hagen)

TEXPSHEADERS		=  
.;$TEXMF/{fonts/{enc,map,type1,truetype},dvips,pdftex,tex}//;$TEXMF/ 
{etex,tex,pdftex,dvips,fonts/type1}//
TEXFONTMAPS		=  
.;$TEXMF/{fonts/map//,fontname};$TEXMF/{pdftex,dvips}/config;$TEXMF/ 
{pdftex,dvips}//
TEXCONFIG		= .;$TEXMF/{fonts/map,dvips,pdftex,dvipdfmx,dvipdfm}//
PDFTEXCONFIG		= .;$TEXMF/pdftex/{$progname,}//
DVIPDFMINPUTS		= .;$TEXMF/{fonts/map,dvips,pdftex,dvipdfmx,dvipdfm}//

%TEXPSHEADERS		=  
.;$TEXMF/{{fonts/{map,enc}/{dvips,},dvips},pdftex,tex,fonts/type1}//
%TEXCONFIG		= $TEXMF/{fonts/{map,enc}/{dvips,},dvips}//
%TEXPSHEADERS.gsftopk	=  
.;$TEXMF/{{fonts/{map,enc}/{dvips,},dvips},pdftex,tex,fonts/ 
{type1,truetype}}//
%DVIPDFMINPUTS		= .;$TEXMF/{dvipdfm,{fonts/{map,enc}/{dvips,},dvips}}//
%XDVIINPUTS		= .;$TEXMF/{xdvi,{fonts/{map,enc}/{dvips,},dvips}}//

% XeTeX
TEXINPUTS.xelatex =			.;$TEXMF/{xetex,tex}/{xetex,latex,generic,}//
TEXINPUTS.xetex   =			.;$TEXMF/{xetex,tex}/{xetex,plain,generic,}//
=====================================================

And the binary should be in:

$ which pdfetex
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current/pdfetex

(this is important because it defines where TeX finds texmf.cnf, namely  
two directories up.)
