A noble ambition!

Alas the news about teTeX is true.

Have you had a look at TeXLive?
http://www.tug.org/texlive/
For FreeBSD that means downloading the iso, mounting it like this
mount_cd9660 -o ro /dev/`mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /path/to/file.iso` /mount-point
cd to the mount point and look out for script entitled install-tl.sh
the script pretty well takes you through the installation
Good luck!
