teTeX is ancient and my advice would be to install TeXLive. It's not
in ports but instructions for installing it can be found on the
forums:

https://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=9681

I think TeXLive 2010 has been released and this has binaries for
FreeBSD. You can get this from http://www.tug.org/ and installation
should consist of just running the installer.
