Hi Yannis,
I fully agree. The installer runs config.guess in order to determine
the platform. The directory names in bin/ (such as i386-linux) are
assembled from its output and the installer checks whether such a
directory exists in the distribution. Maybe the <CPU>-<OS> scheme is
ambiguous on OS X and more information from config.guess need to be
taken into account.
Could you please install
http://www.tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/tlpkg/installer/config.guess
in a temporary directory on that machine and send us its output?
Regards,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
