I looked at `cfgcache.pm` and `l2hconf.pm` in `/opt3/lib/latex2html` and saw that `$LATEX` was defined as the empty string in both. I believe the reason for this is that the `latex2html` portfile does not include the correct dependency declaration. I've attached a patch against the `latex2html` portfile that adds a `depends_lib` for `port:texlive` which provides the needed `latex` binary and removes the `depends_run` for `bin:texhash:texlive` because it is invalid since `texhash` is provided by `texlive_base` not `texlive` and because it will be provided by `texlive_base` since `texlive` depends on `texlive_base`. `python25-doc` installs cleanly for me with these changes.
