Hi Greg,
I'm not at a FreeBSD machine at the moment, and won't be until the 15th,
which makes this a little more complicated :-(

OK. First off, Jesus mailed me back to say that running mktexlsr solved his
problem, so I don't think that's what you're seeing.
What version of TeX have you installed from ports? I've got a nagging
feeling that an earlier message I sent out said use print/teTeX, and I
should have said print/teTeX-beta, which
a) includes more of the optional packages
b) is configurable without recompiling
I think this might be your problem.

That should definitely be installed. According the PLIST file, you should
have it in ${PREFIX}/share/texmf/tex/latex/amsfonts/. If it's not there,
something's gone wrong with your installation.
The other files you're missing are also listed in the PLIST.
Do you have any TeX related environment variables set? $TEXMF or others?
That might be the cause of the problem -- I don't have any set in my
environment.
I'm starting to run out of ideas, because I don't know a great deal about
TeX. It might be worthwhile getting in touch with Eivind, who does (I
believe).
Do you have a test machine you could install this on? Or perhaps you
could reinstall TeX and JadeTeX with ${PREFIX} pointing somewhere else,
and then edit doc/en/handbook/Makefile to explicitly call this new
installation instead?
Sorry I can't be more specific.
