@Jeff

I would advise you to get TeXLive instead, but that is just me.  You
can install from TeXLive DVD, or go get a DVD with packages:

http://code.google.com/p/freebsd-texlive/

You can go here and get the lastest packages for amd64 here:

*Me* scratches my head when I see how some packages still depend on
teTeX, I hoped for a true native port for TeXLive, but it has not
happened :(
