This is what I did.  First remove the directory /var/db/ports/teTeX and 
contents, if it is there.  Now install the teTeX port, selecting all the options 
(especially DVIPSK and XDVIK) to be on.  Next, go to 
/usr/local/share/texmf/dvips/config/.  Copy to config.ps.tetex to config.ps, and 
then edit config.ps deleting the first "%" at the beginning of every line.  My 
guess is that at this point dvips should now be a4, but if not, run the program 
texconfig and work your way around the menus.
