For some of the commands, TextMate uses the shell settings. If you do:

echo $PATH

in the terminal, then you'll see a bunch of paths, and one of them  
should mention tex binaries or something like that.

This is the case for the Typeset & View command, it should "just  
work". Other LaTeX commands don't yet see that location, though they  
ought to. For now the simplest workaround is to create an environment  
variable in TM (Preferences->Advanced->Shell variables) called PATH  
and with value exactly what the "echo $PATH" above gave you (being  
careful not to include any newlines).
