I suggest you should consult the TUG (Tex User Group) mail list. This is really not a TextMate thing nor a LaTeX bundle thing. Installing and using package has nothing to do with TextMate or LaTeX bundle. They merely provide a excellent way for editing latex source file.
Can you confirm that the LaTeX bundle in TextMate provides support for writing source code, compiling and producing PDF output, but provides ZERO support for adding new packages?
As far as I know there no such thing in latex bundle. However there maybe other ways to install tex/latex and packages through textmate.
There are dozens of ways to check which tex you are using.
In terminal, try
tex -version
or
latex -version
Have found that I do have a folder called /usr/local/texlive - MacOS Finder helpfully hides this so I was unable to see it before. However neither "tex" or "latex" are recognised as commands.
Maybe they are not added to the search path. The easiest way I suggest is just reinstall the MacTeX. http://www.tug.org/mactex/2009/ Everything should be fixed. You can use the texlive utility to add/update packages, http://code.google.com/p/mactlmgr/ Most popular packages you may encounter are already in TexLive distribution. So the texlive utility will do all the job for you.
Most mac users nowadays use MacTeX, aka, TeXLive. If you find "TeX Distribution" in the System preference panel, then you are using it and you can check which distribution is in use.
Here's a screen shot of my system preferences - where would I go look for Tex Distribution?
