I would use a "SET", see poudriere(8), section "Customization" for the
hierarchy how customs make.conf-files are pulled in. To reduce
compilation time, one could first build the with-tetex set and then
copy over (or clone) all packages to the with-texlive set. All on the
same jail and ports tree. poudriere would clean up the all
tetex-dependencies and build anew with texlive. 

A bit hackish, but works.

Punctuation matters:
"Lets eat Grandma." or "Lets eat, Grandma." - Punctuation saves lives.
"A panda eats shoots and leaves." or "A panda eats, shoots, and
leaves." - Punctuation teaches proper biology.

"With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead." (RFC 1925)
