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:
