I have the exact same issue on Mac OS X 10.11.1. Setting the number of civilizations to “Very Low” increases your chance of avoiding the freeze, but not by much.

After a number of runs this appears to be a lockup that occurs when WorldGen tries to place a specific type of civilization. I have had the lockup occur on trying to place the first all the way through the 20th, and was able to generate a world by setting the number of civs very low.
