Comment:

 I don't quite follow the series of messages you've shown. I understand why
 attempting to install texlive-plain-extra attempts to build texlive-bin;
 it's a dependency. But I don't understand the initial message that
 texlive-plain-extra is not registered as installed and active. You also
 haven't
 [https://guide.macports.org/chunked/project.html#project.tickets.prerequisites
 cleaned texlive-bin and tried again], so please do that, and attach its
 main.log if it fails again.
