Comment(by dports@…):

 I looked into this a bit and still don't understand why this problem would
 come up. As I understand it, texnansi.enc is a (dated?) font encoding file
 used by a few fonts. It doesn't appear that any of the texlive fonts or
 packages require it, except perhaps for a few in texlive-fonts-extra. In
 that case, this file is in the proper place in texlive-latex-extra.

 Have you perhaps installed tex fonts outside of the texlive ports?

 Replying to [comment:6 MacPorts@…]:
 > At the very least, I would add a dependency of the package containing
 dvips on the package containing texnansi.enc (said to be texlive-fonts-
 extra), since dvips does not produce a particularly helpful error message
 when the file is needed and missing.

 This we definitely can't do as dvips is part of the core texlive
 installation (texlive-basic). Circular dependency issues aside, this would
 increase the size of even the most minimal texlive installation by a
 couple hundred MB.
