I'm not 100% sure this is the same epstopdf (mine came with macports and is located here /opt/local/libexec/texlive/binaries/epstopdf).
You could make a symlink to it by running the following in a terminal:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/scripts/epstopdf/epstopdf.pl /usr/local/bin/epstopdf

Then running 'epstopdf --version' in the terminal should print some version info.
Once that works, doxygen will probably also be able to find it.
