I think removing textproc is a no-brainer, unless someone has a
different opinion. :)  I don't have a do-fetch target in portmaster's
port (which also has the src in the tree), and given the fact that
DISTFILES is explicitly set empty I don't see why one would be necessary
at all.

So, short answer, yes, if you don't mind. Otherwise I'll be glad to do
it, just let me know.
