You seem to have a non-standard TeX on Mac setup. With a standard  
MacTeX install:

- Files would live in /usr/local/texlive/2007/ not /usr/local/share/.

- xipasl10 would already be available as a PostScript font, no need  
for pdfLaTeX to run mktexpk.

Here's what I get:

/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr10.pfb
theo9mc182:~ bvoisin$ kpsewhich xipasl10.tfm
/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/tipa/xipasl10.tfm
theo9mc182:~ bvoisin$ kpsewhich xipasl10.pfb
/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/public/tipa/xipasl10.pfb
