The noweb port doesn't depend on teTeX by default, and I didn't want to install noweb's macro files into the nonexistent texmf/ tree. I've always relied on the users to do it themselves. However, diskspace is cheap nowadays, so I could add the dependency. I'd like another change in the teTeX port first, though: I want to enable support for a `local' texmf tree (TEXMFLOCAL variable in texmf.cnf), so additions like noweb.sty could be put somewhere below ${PREFIX}/share/texmf.local and won't clutter the distributed texmf/. This will also allow us to install newer versions of other (La)TeX, BibTeX, etc. packages without clobbering the original teTeX tree. Putting the newer stuff directly into texmf/ will do all kinds of bad things to FreeBSD's package handling tools.
