I didn't try http://code.google.com/p/freebsd-texlive/ yet but as far as I read in the wiki page
	http://code.google.com/p/freebsd-texlive/wiki/Installing
this port is for *TeXLive 2008* only. TeXLive 2008 has binaries files for FreeBSD (so I can install TeXLive from the live CD without the need of the port). But TeXLive 2009 has binaries only for NetBSD. I don't know if we can use NetBSD files for FreeBSD?
