Comment:

 A couple things:

  1. The +docs variant is clearly missing a dependency on texlive-basic,
 which is what provides the tex binary.
  2. MacPorts does not use your PATH; it uses its own path, as defined by
 the binpath variable in macports.conf. Editing binpath is usually not
 advisable, but we do make an exception for tex, so you're welcome to add
 /usr/texbin to binpath if you'd rather use that tex than the tex that
 MacPorts would install.
