Comment(by nigel.stanger@…):

 If texmf.cnf is still part of the main package, then yes, it may still be
 a problem. Upstream seems to have changed the way that local
 customisations work, though—see the comment in the original texmf.cnf
 about placing a local customisations in ../../texmf.cnf. I tried that when
 I upgraded, but of course it didn’t work, because ../.. turned out to be
 /opt/local/share ☺. That should provide a mechanism for the port to do
 something along similar lines though, if it’s possible to modify where it
 looks for the localised file. I’m happy to test patches if necessary.
