because you're using an old version of GdalTools plugin, it was
updated in QGis master and also in the plugin repository.

The new version of GdalTools plugin allows you to set the path
to python modules (if not found like in your case).

Just use the Python Plugins Installer to update it (it could require to
enableexperimental plugins if not done before).
After installation, remove again the Path to executables in
Settings dialog, then restart. Now should be auto-filled.
If it doesn't still work, then set the Path to python modules to
something like

/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/Versions/1.8/Python/2.7/site-packages

The other tools are binary executables, instead the gdal_merge
and gdal_polygonize (and someone else) are python executables.

Regards.
