Comment (by neverpanic):

 The point remains, that MacPorts should never touch files installed using
 a different package manager. This leads to all sorts of unexpected
 behavior. For example, let us assume you install dblatex +mactex, that
 puts a couple of files into your `/usr/local/texlive`, the enduser uses
 whatever tool manages that installation to update that installation to a
 newer version, the user uninstalls dblatex. Suddenly those files are gone,
 while the metadata potentially kept by the MacTeX package management
 expects them to be present and at a certain version.

 The more I think about this, the less I think this is a good solution.
 Could we not just add a check during post-activate for the expected files,
 and if they're missing, print instructions telling users how to install
 them using MacTeX?
