But then no MAP file tells TeX that the font name MinionPro-It-Base-ad is related to a scalable font and therefore no bitmap font files with different resolutions need to be generated. This "translation" from the TeX font name to the corresponding vector font file and its encoding is done via the MAP file. And therefore it's quite certain that the MinionPro.map file (fragment) has not yet been enabled.

Particularly the installation root /Library/TeX/Root/texmf is wrong. Packages from outside TeX Live belong into the /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local branch. Although it's confusing that the Minion Pro TFM support files /are/ part of TL 2012.

A further update: I used FontPro
https://github.com/sebschub/FontPro

and with the help of this:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/87557/installing-fontpro-support-for-minion-pro-myriad-pro-cronos-pro-with-mikte

and it seems to now work. I have no idea what was the problem before.
Maybe it had to do with the fact that my font files (ptb) were not
placed in the correct directory. Though I'm happy things work, it is
somewhat worrisome that I have no idea why any of it did manage to go
through.

Can someone clarify these points for me?

Where should the MInionPro.map file be placed?
Where should things like /ptb folders be placed?

I think in regards to the second point, you can see in the ./install
script of the FontPro that there is the following few lines:

if [ "x$dir" = x ]
then
  dir="$(kpsewhich -expand-var='$TEXMFLOCAL')"
fi

# new directory layout (TDS v1.1)
enc_dir="$dir/fonts/enc/dvips/$font"
map_dir="$dir/fonts/map/dvips/$font"
pfb_dir="$dir/fonts/type1/$vendor/$font"
tfm_dir="$dir/fonts/tfm/$vendor/$font"
vf_dir="$dir/fonts/vf/$vendor/$font"
tex_dir="$dir/tex/latex/$font"
doc_dir="$dir/doc/latex/$font"

which seems to outline all the crucial folders you need and placed in
$TEXMFLOCAL which for me is

/usr/local/texlive/2012/../texmf-local

As for the MinionPro.map file, I still have no idea where that should
have been placed. Using

kpsewhich MinionPro.map

I get

/Users/MYHOME/Library/texmf/fonts/map/dvips/MinionPro/MinionPro.map

as usual.
