The TeXLive installer allows you to choose what stuff you want to
install or not. You don't have to install the whole lot.

I've installed TeXLive 2007 to use /usr/local/texlive/2007 as its prefix
and data directory, and that works fine. Everything is contained
within that tree. It does not put things in /etc or /usr/local/etc if
you do this. What you do need to do after building the binaries is add
/usr/local/texlive/2007/bin/<arch>-unknown-freebsd<version> to the path
in /etc/login.conf.

Compiling the binaries isn't difficult. I've configured them to use
system libraries as much as possible, but if you don't do that the
binaries will have few dependancies beyond the base system libraries.

I've noticed that Omega wouldn't compile on my amd64 system, so I hacked
the makefile a little to fix that. If anybody wants to know how, drop me
a line. Omega will be supplanted by LuaTeX anyway.

This is how I configured the binaries on my amd64 system;

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/texlive/2007 \
--datadir=/usr/local/texlive/2007 --without-dvi2tty \
--without-musixflx --without-omega --enable-ipc --with-system-ncurses \
--with-ncurses-libdir=/usr/lib --with-ncurses-include=/usr/include \
--with-system-pnglib --with-pnglib-libdir=/usr/local/lib \
--with-pnglib-include=/usr/local/include/libpng \
--with-system-t1lib --with-t1lib-libdir=/usr/local/lib \
--with-t1lib-include=/usr/local/include \
--with-system-zlib --with-zlib-libdir=/usr/lib \
--with-zlib-include=/usr/include \
--with-system-gd --with-gd-libdir= /usr/local/lib \
--with-gd-include=/usr/local/include \
--with-system-freetype2 --with-freetype2-libdir=/usr/local/lib \
--with-freetype2-include=/usr/local/include --without-cjkutils \
--without-dvidvi --with-x11 --with-system-icu \
--with-icu-libdir=/usr/local/lib --with-icu-include=/usr/local/include
