Comment:

 As a matter of policy, MacPorts does not rely on outside libraries and
 binaries (see [https://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#syslibs FAQ
 entry]).[[BR]]
 MacPorts does not support software installed in {{{/usr/local}}} (see
 [https://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#usrlocal FAQ entry]).

 That being said, I must admit that I have MacTex installed on my
 machine.[[BR]]
 By having {{{/Library/TeX/texbin}}} earlier than
 {{{/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin}}} in my {{{PATH}}} variable, MacPorts
 no longer "hides" the MacTex LaTeX.
