im assuming that this logfile is from the console, so that ical gibberish just happened to be there. id highly doubt ical would interfere with PD on any level. (do you have any ical appointments scheduled or to-do lists with alarms, because those do run CRON, the unix event scheduler, but it would have to be mighty messed up IMO to mess up PD.
I dont have any experience with running PD on that machine, but id try basic OS X troubleshooting:
repair disk permissions repair/verify the disk
if that doesnt work, make a dummy admin user and log in as them.
if for some reason PD doesnt have access to the /dev device it wont show up (correct right list?)
also, maybe try running PD as root and seeing if you get any further. good luck =)

Yeah, that's weird. This line is particularly interesting:
Contents/Info.plist --file://localhost/Applications/iCal.app/ It looks like iCal is interfereing with PD.
On the audio input tip, have you actually used the internal mic to record something in another application? Also, have you tried to launch PD directly from the terminal?
