I actually sent an email to the "TexLive guy" (I forgot who exactly, I got the name from ports@ IIRC) about three years ago asking if he needed help, the reply I got was "Just working out the last details, should be ready for ports soon".
This is also about the same I've heard about anyone since...
... I wonder how many potential people who *could* have helped make a working TeX port in the ports tree have been blown off like that over the years ...
Back then I was working with TeX and cared ... Now I don't anymore ... Sorry ...
