I'm having the same problem. I would like to use the newer magyar.ldf 1.5 with 
texlive, and I get the warning in my log file when running texi2dvi:

Package magyar.ldf Warning: Requested Hungarian hyphenation= patterns missing.
(magyar.ldf)                To make LaTeX hyphenate Hungarian words, please
(magyar.ldf)                modify language.dat and rerun initex or texconfig.

Hungarian hyphenation is turned off, though the hyphenation settings were not 
changed. I have tried changing the language.dat file (eg. changing 
the "hungarian" line to point to huhyphn.tex instead of xe-huhyphn.tex, and 
changing it to "magyar" instead of hungarian - as suggested in the new ldf 
file, but nothing seems to work.

I am installing tetex on my system and using that, until I hear of a solution.
