FWIW, this is still not fixed.
root at kg-v7# uname -a
FreeBSD kg-v7.kg4.no 11.0-STABLE FreeBSD 11.0-STABLE #0 r307729: Fri

root at kg-v7.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

and an updated ports tree.
I had to install texlive-base with
root at kg-v7# LC_COLLATE=C portinstall -R texlive-base
[...]
Installing texlive-base-20150521_13...

===>  Cleaning for texlive-base-20150521_13

The funny thing is that none of the LC* variables are set in my
environment, only LANG:

root at kg-v7# env
PAGER=more
LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1
G_FILENAME_ENCODING=ISO-8859-1
MAIL=/var/mail/root
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/root/bin
ENV=/root/.shrc
OLDPWD=/usr/ports/lang/python27
PWD=/root
TERM=xterm
EXINIT=set showmode
USER=root
HOME=/root
SHELL=/bin/sh
BLOCKSIZE=K

Is there a existing PR for this? OK, 21264 is close enough:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212624
I'll add comments to it.
