I did a clean install of everything on my system after installing Leopard, and I can verify that LaTeXit works using the MacTeX distribution (I previously had both MacTex and i-installer's gwTeX distributions).

Assuming that you don't want to do what I did, you can fix the path LaTeXit uses to access pdftex. Go to the Composition tab of LaTeXit's preferences and use the Change... button for the pdfLaTeX path to see if the path is set correctly and to browse to the correct path if it is not. If you use the gwTeX distribution, the path should be somewhere inside /usr/local/gwTeX. If you use the MacTeX distribution, the path is in /usr/local/texlive. In my case (G4 laptop, MacTeX distribution), the full path is /usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/powerpc-darwin/pdflatex, but /usr/texbin/pdflatex works also because there is an alias in /texbin. If you use Fink, the path would be somewhere in /sw.

If you still haven't fixed it, you can also try the TeX on Mac mailing list (go to http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/ to sign up, http://tug.org/pipermail/macostex-archives/ to see the archives). If they help you, please post back here.
