Comment (by mascguy):

 Replying to [comment:1 drkp]:
 > This is intentional. These symlinks point to files in the texmf tree
 which are installed by other ports.
 >
 > Files in /opt/local/libexec/texlive/binaries are not meant to be used
 directly. They are symlinked into /opt/local/bin when the corresponding
 port (and symlink target) is installed.

 Is this a common port practice?
