I have exactly the same problem, ptex won't finish.
I am using a newly installed FreeBSD 9.1 virtual machine.

The first one is:
----
  eval lastarg=\$$#
  case $lastarg in
  \#*)  eval lastarg=\$$(($# - 1)) ;;
  esac
  inifile=`echo $lastarg | sed 's%^\*%%'`

  # See if we can find $inifile for return code:
----

And the result of % tail -3 /usr/local/share/texmf-config/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
---
ptex ptex - ptex.ini    #ptex
ptex eptex language.def *eptex.ini    #ptex
platex eptex language.dat *platex.ini    #ptex
---

I'm not sure why there are 2 "ptex" lines.

The result of % find /usr/local/share/texmf* $HOME/.tex* is very huge.
Do you really need it?
