I continued with portmaster's "-R" option and got a lot further. You
could try either that or the command line that portmaster suggests 
when it bails out.

I don't think that texlive is relevant; if you continue the process
instead of starting from scratch, you'll probably get farther. 

I'd prefer to actually debug the problem at its root, but it's the
middle of the night and I don't seem to have enough brain cells awake 
to figure anything out.

Good luck.
