Just in case: did you run exactly the following two commands, in  
Terminal:

sudo mktexlsr
sudo -H updmap-sys --enable Map arev.map

If you didn't (i.e., if you used updmap instead of updmap-sys), then  
you should have (I think) generated map files inside

~/texmf/fonts/map/dvipdfm/updmap/
~/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/updmap/
~/texmf/fonts/map/pdftex/updmap/

If so, then erase these files and run the above commands. For details  
on the why, see the section "I am having configuration problems (with  
the command line tools)" at <http://ii2.sourceforge.net/tex-index.html>.

If you did use texhash instead of mktexlsr, that isn't a problem, as  
the (deprecated) texhash has been made a symlink to mktexlsr.

If that doesn't solve your problem, could you tell exactly which  
files have been installed and where?

There is another possible cause to your problem: the provided  
arev.map contains lines of the form

favr8r ArevSans-Roman <8r.enc <ArevSans-Roman.pfb " TeXBase1Encoding  
ReEncodeFont "

I would have expected the correct syntax to be

favr8r ArevSans-Roman " TeXBase1Encoding ReEncodeFont " <8r.enc  
<ArevSans-Roman.pfb

I wonder whether this can matter. I looked at section 6.4 of /Library/ 
teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/programs/dvips.pdf, it looks like that  
should be the case, but I'm not sure.
