First, had you installed TeX itself, before Panther? TeXShop is a 
front-end, building behind the scene on TeX which is a command-line 
program living in /Library/teTeX/ (a symbolic link, or alias to 
simplify, to /usr/local/teTeX/ -- notice the uppercase letters, they 
are significant, and I notice your message above doesn't have them). 
TeX can be installed with i-Installer <http://www.rna.nl/tex.html>.

In case you did install TeX before Panther, did you do an Archive & 
Install, or an Update? If you did Archive & Install, the whole TeX 
directory has been moved together with you former OS X to /Previous 
Systems/Previous System 1/ where it is invisible, living in /Previous 
Systems/Previous System 1/usr/local/teTeX/. There TeXShop can't find 
it.

You can then move the whole TeX tree back to /usr/local/teTeX/ (I 
wouldn't advise it, as you might get a system with incorrect ownerships 
and permissions), or re-install TeX with i-Installer (that's what I'd 
advise).

Hope this helps,
