Hmm...  I looked through the PLIST from the latex port and it lists no
style files.  That seems a bit weird.  I recommend installing latex via
the teTeX port - I've had no trouble w/ it and the style files are
installed as well.  Just so you know, epsfig.sty should be in :

	/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/graphics/epsfig.sty

Metafont is busy making the fonts for the document you are going to look
at.
