I've build the teTeX port a number of times without any problems except that it is very large. IMHO teTeX is probably the best port/package as it contains almost everything you need. > 2) > I cannot find latex209 Latex209 is a dinosaur, use latex2e.

My advice is to build the port, because TeX and family seems to be very system dependant. All your font files and other stuff will then be in the proper places.
