The official TeX Live installer for also "just works," installing
pre-compiled FreeBSD binaries to a self-contained location of your
choice. Been using it some time myself without a problem. There doesn't
seem to be much interest in maintaining a broad collection of TeX ports
in the FreeBSD ports tree. I can't say exactly why not, but if I had to
guess I'd say there may be two reasons:

1) The TeXLive packages already present in the ports tree are there
primarily because other ports depend on them

2) A perfectly good *official* way of installing, using and maintaining
TexLive has existed for a very long time, making a complete ports set
superfluous
