NO! tex is a lot more than just the binaries. One of the installed
directories is bin under your specified directory.
OOPS. There is no bin file in the teTex file??? /usr/local/teTex/NO
bin
?????????? NO! as in "NO, don't do that!".
I mean there is no bin file. When I looked for the directory I found
"/usr/local/teTex" but there is no /bin in the teTex file. Should there
be?

/usr/local/teTex/bin is is a directory! And the installer will install
everything in /usr/local/teTeX, including the binaries in designated
sub-directories. YOU have to tell the rest of the system where to find
those directories. That is what the whole mess with .bash_profile
does. After that, restart the terminal application and type 'which
tex' (without the quotes). You should get output, if the PATH is set
correctly, with the only uncertainty the number of your darwin release
(6.3 is very well possible).
Below are some commands and the output to show the structure:
dyn34-121:/usr/local/teTeX sneep$ cd /usr/local/teTeX
dyn34-121:/usr/local/teTeX sneep$ ls -F
bin/ include/ info/ lib/ man/ share/ texmf.cnf
dyn34-121:/usr/local/teTeX sneep$ cd bin
dyn34-121:/usr/local/teTeX/bin sneep$ ls -F
