------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
 The latexmk Portfile specifies a dependency on

 {{{
 bin:latex:texlive-latex
 }}}

 in order to prevent installing latex when there already is a different
 installation of LaTeX. However, the LaTeX distribution most Mac users
 probably use MacTeX installs the binary as /usr/texbin/latex. This can be
 fixed, by either adding /usr/texbin to binpath in macports.conf or
 modifying the Portfile to specifically check for /usr/texbin/latex or
 providing a variant to disable the dependency for users that knowingly
 have LaTeX installed.
