 I needed to use the command-line-tool "texcount" recently and discovered
 it as a symlink in the port texlive-bin.  However it was a broken symlink!
 It turns out, the target of the symlink is in texlive-bin-extra, which I
 now have installed:

 {{{
 $ ls -l /opt/local/bin/texcount
 lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin  64 Jul 29 13:16 /opt/local/bin/texcount ->
 /opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist/scripts/texcount/texcount.pl
 $ ls -l /opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist/scripts/texcount/texcount.pl
 -rwxr-xr-x  2 root  admin  43616 May  8  2009 /opt/local/share/texmf-
 texlive-dist/scripts/texcount/texcount.pl
 $ port provides /opt/local/bin/texcount
 /opt/local/bin/texcount is provided by: texlive-bin
 $ port provides /opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-
 dist/scripts/texcount/texcount.pl
 /opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist/scripts/texcount/texcount.pl is
 provided by: texlive-bin-extra
 }}}

 It is not clear to me how these ports are assembled, but it seems that the
 symlink should belong in texlive-bin-extra, where its target exists, and
 not in texlive-bin.  I wonder if there are other instances like this in
 the texlive-bin port.
