Comment(by vext01@…):

 > The version currently in MacPorts is 2007, which IIRC predates TexLive's
 package management system. So there's a texlive_base port that installs
 the binaries, a texlive_texmf-full and a texlive_texmf-minimal that
 install some or all of the tex files, s texlive_texmf-docs port, and a
 texlive metaport.

 Hi,

 I am the OpenBSD TeX Live maintainer, you inherited your original 2007
 port from me.

 The package manager format did change from 2007 to 2008 from an RDF based
 format to a text based one. All I had to do was re-write my script which
 generated the packing lists and I was OK to continue using _base, _texmf-
 minimal, _texmf-full and _texmf-docs. This is the way I packaged 2008 and
 2009 for OpenBSD and it seems to work just fine.

 You could probably save yourself some time by stealing my packing lists?

 Perhaps useful, if not, never mind :)
