 Immediately after sending the PR, I checked the environment root used to 
 build the port.  It had the variable TEXINPUTS set with a couple 
 directories that were not ones where the hyphen.tex files lives.  So I 
 added /usr/local/share/texmf to TEXINPUTS and did a make clean then a 
 make and it appears to have built LaTeX now.  
 
 I just tried removing TEXINPUTS from my environment and did a make clean 
 && make and this also works.  
 
 So it appears that if you define TEXINPUTS,  it better have  the 
 system's correct path for the base  includes in it -- it won't include 
 it by default in addition to whatever you put in TEXINPUTS.
 
 This seems more like a (mis-)feature of TeX rather than the port but 
 perhaps the port could check for a set TEXINPUTS and emit a warning or 
 something.
