I think you're wise to. I use teTeX and it's got most things. I've
only ever had to get something from CTAN once: a fax package.

Check out beamer once you've installed teTeX:

/usr/local/share/texmf-dist/doc/latex/beamer/beameruserguide.pdf

There are also some examples installed:

/usr/local/share/texmf-dist/doc/latex/beamer/examples/

TeXlive will eventually be ported but for the moment you're better off
with teTeX in ports, it works fine.

BTW, the best place to get your LaTeX/TeX questions answered is
comp.text.tex on Usenet.
