Yes, it is exactly what your "configure with CLI" option was supposed to do.
You can either 1) try again to configure with CLI or 2) to add
symbolic link(s) to your
/usr/local/bin folder

(in tcsh  %cd /usr/local/bin
% ln -s /usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current/tex4ht tex4ht
)

but there are plenty binaries in that directory

or 3) adding
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/i386-apple-darwin-current/
to your path (with the usual either opening new terminal window or command
%source .tcshrc (assuming that this is your shell configuration file)

I would go with 3)
