So there is one more option left: Report and then Print. This will 
launch Mac OS X's printing mechanism giving you the choice to save the 
log in a file in you Documents folder. Afterwards you'll have some time 
to study towards the report's end ... if the installation failed before 
creating any formats.

I found in my log these lines for TL2005:

### tex.configure: Started...
### tex.configure: /usr/local/teTeX/texmf.cnf does not exist. Creating 
default.
### tex.configure: Creating a local setup for texconfig...
### tex.configure: Files have been added during install, the index 
needs updating.
### tex.configure: Please wait....


And these files were needed to create the formats:

/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.gwtex/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/tex/generic/config/pdftexconfig.tex

And there is also /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/texconfig:
total 48

drwxr-xr-x  3 root  admin     102 21 Feb 12:57 x



In the latest log I have these lines:

### tex.configure: Creating a local setup for texconfig...
### tex.configure: Removing texmf.local ConTeXt. Please wait...
### tex.configure: Files have been added during install, the index 
needs updating. Please wait....
### tex.configure: Found relsymb.map
### tex.configure: Found utopia.map
### tex.configure: Found fourier.map
...
### tex.configure: Adapting current config file for languages...
### tex.configure: Initializing TeX (please wait) ...
running `pdfetex -ini -jobname=latex -progname=latex 
-translate-file=cp227.tcx *latex.


My last assumption is that you could be trying to install in Basic 
mode, but since TL2005 is *experimental* you might need to convert to 
an Expert? How is in this mode?
