I'm very confused by this URW issue, I thought the Adobe fonts present 
in Mac OS X were used.

But yes, the updmap script itself at 
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/dvips/config/updmap says:

and its config file at /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg 
says:

To get what you want I think you need to "activate":

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/dvips/config/ar-std-adobe-bi.map
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/dvips/config/lw35extra-adobe-bi.map

For Adobe MathPi I think you need:

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/dvips/config/mathpi.map

For Adobe Times SC and OsF I couldn't find anything. Maybe Y&Y could 
help, since they sell Unix versions of their fonts they might have some 
familiarity with how to configure teTeX.
