A FreeBSD release is shipped with built packages and with ports that can be built by the user if this later respects the ports dependencies. The FreeBSD docproj toolchain depends on teTex so misc/freebsd-doc-* ports as well. If you install TeXLive you cannot use teTeX. Our docset toolchain may be updated in the future to TeXLive or something else. Once again, for the moment you have to use the packages. -- Marc
