 I wanted to install web2c from Knuth, and I noticed it's part of a large
 bundle (texlive-bin-extra).  For whatever reason this isn't in MacTex.
 So, I proceeded to install texlive-bin-extra, but it went and calculated
 dependencies and proceeded to install all the prerequisites and
 redundantly installing the port parts.

 I read something online that said if you edit
 /opt/local/etc/macports/macports.conf and add /usr/texbin to the path in
 there that this should avoid installing a bunch of redundant stuff, but
 apparently it won't help in this case?
