Comment (by mojca):

 I agree. The current approach doesn't let the user have two copies of
 macports with texlive installed.

 There is a workaround for frameworks and applications that's solved
 globally, but probably nobody thought about this one particular problem so
 far.

 But also, I'm not even sure to what extent this structure is still useful.
 It was overengineered in some ways from the day one, and lacking some
 crucial features on the other hand. I'm not exactly following all the
 details, but I have an impression that TeXDist PrefPane where this
 functionality was useful doesn't even work any longer on newer versions of
 macOS. (It might be useful elsewhere, but I no longer keep track.)
