This gives a clue: You have (or at least had) an older version of 
tetex-base installed that provides texi2html, too. The 
update-alternatives stuff exists precisely for this situation, it should 
allow the texi2html package to install its version of /sw/bin/texi2html 
instead of the one from tetex-base. Since tetex-base gives its 
alternative a priority of 40 and texi2html gives a priority of 60, the 
latter should, if present, be installed over the former.

Apparently the removal or update of that version of tetex-base went 
wrong, it did not remove its stuff completely, and now it is preventing 
the correct installation of texi2html. Maybe you can get rid of it by 
running

  sudo update-alternatives --remove texi2html /sw/bin/texi2html.tetex-base

and see if this helps with the correct installation of the texi2html 
package.

I am seeing this old version of tetex only in the 10.2 trees. In fact, 
did you ever mention what version of MacOSX you are running?
