This is a program that removes TeX control sequences and comments from files. I thought it was part of the teTeX distribution, and there is a port of teTex.

Does anyone know how I can get hold of this? Should I do it outside /opt/local?

You could compile it by hand, but so that other Mac users won't have to do this, it would be best to make a port. If you don't know how you can learn at http://guide.macports.org . If you don't have time to make a port, you could file a ticket in the issue tracker requesting that someone make this port. See the guide for how to file tickets.
