It looks like tex4ht has moved into the main TeX package, but the 
dependencies haven't been updated, or you've installed tex4ht and the 
new version wants a newer version or libmagick.

Install/update the libmagick package then try to install TeX again.

Best to ask this on the Mac OS X TeX mailing list if possible.
