Can a warlock with pact of the blade bind a non-magical weapon to be their pact weapon?
In the pact of the blade text, the following is read:
... You can transform one magic weapon into your pact weapon by performing a special ritual while you hold the weapon. ...
This indicates to me that only magical weapons can be bound in this way. Does that mean a silvered weapon, adamantine weapon, or even just a entirely mundane weapon is unable to be bound in this manner?

Going by RAW, you are correct
The part you're quoting from the PHB indicates that magical weapons can be bound like this. Also backed up in Sage Advice
So unless the silvered/adamantine weapon is magical, you can't bind it as your pact weapon. As for mundane, you can create them using the Pact of the Blade feature, as described in the PHB:
You can use your action lo create a pact weapon in your
empty hand. You can choose the form that this melee
weapon lakes each time you create it (see chapter 5 for
weapon options).

In short, yes, only magical weapons qualify for this feature (PHB p.108).
The feature is further explained in the v2.2 Sage Advice, where it is again stated that the weapon HAS to be magical.
Using the RAF (Rules as Fun) approach, I would probably allow any weapon with even the slightest enchantment to be considered magical for the purpose of that feature.
