 etex was missing and I fixed in r373858.  Please try the latest ports
 tree and upgrate print/tex-formats.

 In the fmtutil.cnf configuration file, all of the entries are
 disabled by default.  If you want to use it, please enable them.
 Normal users do not need to touch it because print/tex-formats (and
 other TeX-related ports) handles format files as necessary.
