The TeXShop web site <http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/ 
installing.html> recommends the following installation order, which I  
think should be adhered to:

FreeType 2
libiconv (on System 10.2 [Jaguar]; skip this on System 10.3 [Panther])
libwmf
Ghostscript 8 (or Ghostscript 6 if you are using OSX 10.1.5 or lower)
ImageMagick
FontForge
TeX

This ensures, for example, that conversion of Latin Modern fonts for  
use with OS X should work (yielding new fonts in /Library/Fonts/Latin  
Modern/).

Any additional installation like CM-Super or XeTeX should come  
afterwards (given they install in the texmf.local directory which has  
been created, populated and configured when installing the TeX i- 
Package).
