The MacTeX distribution uses a really really outdated version of libgd: the truecolor-incapable libgd1.x which has been replaced by the truecolor-capable libgd2.x, I dunno, 5-6-7 years ago.

The best course of action would be to rebuild dvipng against libgd2. And to recommend the distributor of MacTeX to do so too. (Perhaps I should just remove the libgd1-compatibility code in dvipng and force everyone to go libgd2.)
