 When converting markdown to PDF, pandoc threw an error:

 {{{

 ! LaTeX Error: File `lmodern.sty' not found.

 pandoc: Error producing PDF from TeX source
 }}}

 So I had to install `texlive-fonts-recommended`, after which the
 conversion worked flawless.

 However, since pandoc uses `pdflatex` an additional dependency  to
 `texlive-latex` is required, which I had installed but is not a dependency
 of `texlive-fonts-recommended`.

 Furthermore, the [http://pandoc.org/README.html#creating-a-pdf pandoc
 documentation for creating PDFs] states that the following TeX packages
 are required:

  If necessary, I can create a mapping to the ports providing the listed
 packages.

 Additionally, pandoc provides several options for creating PDFs using
 different flavors of LaTeX binaries, namely pdflatex, luatex and xelatex.
 luatex and xelatex would need additional dependencies. I am not sure
 wether this warrants special port variants.
