I used BasicTex before, to save space on an old laptop. As I recall, it
complained about missing some packages that Org puts in the header by
default. Being a latex noob, I didn't bother to install them, but just
set them to nil in org-export-latex-default-packages-alist, and never
missed them.
I never used BasicTeX (MacTeX yes, though now I'm working on Linux), but
I know it has tlmgr (TeXLive Manager), with which you can install
missing packages from the TeXLive distribution:
sudo tlmgr install <package>
I don't know if BasicTeX or MacTeX-Additions
http://www.tug.org/mactex/morepackages.html
have the wonderful GUI for tlmgr, TeX Live Utility (TLU), but the OP can
ask in the very helpful TeX on Mac OS X mailing list:
