Comment:

 No, this isn't possible. Adding /usr/texbin to the macports.conf binpath
 will let you substitute MacTeX for some tex dependencies in MacPorts, but
 you can't install part of texlive via MacTeX and part via MacPorts (for
 many reasons).

 I can't speak authoritatively about MacTeX, but I would be very surprised
 if there was something in texlive-bin-extra (or any of the other ports)
 that's not in MacTeX. They are derived from the same source, after all.

 web2c is actually a tex implementation (and isn't from Knuth). Did you
 mean cweb (cweave and ctangle) or Knuth's original web (weave and tangle)?
