 I am installing octave and just got this:
 {{{
 --->  Cleaning texlive_texmf-full
 --->  Fetching texlive_texmf-minimal
 }}}
 I feel like this should never ever happen. It's bad enough that I already
 have mactex, so now I have three distributions! I'm not sure what
 dependencies caused this, but it seems like there should be a way to make
 sure that texmf-full is treated as a superset of texmf-minimal.

Comment:

 That's actually normal and expected, texlive_texmf-full and texlive_texmf-
 minimal are different ports and is not a duplication; there is also
 texlive_base which installs other bits as well.  It is split out this way
 as that's how the distfiles are split out in the OpenBSD ports version
 which we are currently using.
