Seems unlikely.

That last line looks like it could be a problem. I'm sure someone will
correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe texmf.cnf should be world
readable. Do the following in Terminal:

cd /usr/local/tetex
sudo chmod +r texmf.cnf

Then see if the permissions for texmf.cnf are -rw-r--r--. If not then
do the following:

sudo chmod 644 texmf.cnf

Then check to see if tex works properly.
