For the moment I just remove the teTeX dependencies from those ports before I build them. I've thought about whipping up a fake teTeX port, but I was not sure if I could pull that off. > The second question is about ports that install TeX related stuff > (such as macro packages, like NOWEB do).

TeXLive is so complete that I didn't really have to install any stuff =66rom ports. I have a $HOME/texmf tree where I can stick the odd style file. The standard texmf.cnf uses $HOME/texmf be default. > To consider more FreeBSD specific issues, I have read elsethread that > some people are working on porting TeXlive to FreeBSD.

Maybe there will be a generic TeX dependency that can be fullfilled by either TeXLive or teTeX. But in the long run I expect that TeXLive will replace teTeX.
