Hi Devin, it looks like the problem was that I have latex and dvipng installed to a different local than Mnemosyne was expecting (/Library/TeX/texbin/ instead of /usr/local/bin/). I believe that I had configured this in the past, and then my config.py was reset when I updated Mnemosyne to 2.7.1 (I had some syncing issues that made me have to erase ~/Library/Mnemosyne/). I changed the config.py and it's working for me now.
I installed LaTeX through the CTAN mirror of MacTex (http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/mac/mactex/MacTeX.pkg <http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/mac/mactex/MacTeX.pkg>).
