The dist contains a debian directory with build rules. They install both -- which, yes, I think is best. I have tried to install both, as the build doc mentions using either config arg --with-psl or --with-csl and then make. How would port handle both at the same time?

The csl + fox build actually has a menu command in the gui to launch the html docs. I had thought to wrap that into the csl variant, but if the user doesn't have texlive already installed, it could take a while.
