New description:

 I use Asymptote from MacTeX (`xasy` doesn't work), so I don't depend on
 this, but it would be nice if the dependency on TeX Live was less strict.
 It seems like an overkill having to install the complete TeX Live as a
 dependency.

 I boldly changed the following line:
 {{{
 --with-latex=${prefix}/share/texmf-local/tex/latex
 }}}
 into
 {{{
 --with-latex=${texlive_texmfports}/tex/latex
 }}}

 but maybe `${texlive_texmfdist}` would be more appropriate given that
 asymptote is officially part of TeX Live.
