Comment:

 I assume this is intentional, but I don't know the TeX software well
 enough to explain why. Maybe the TeX software requires that it is
 installed there.

 Using the command `port file all|sort -u|xargs grep /Library/TeX` I found
 several ports referencing this path, chiefly texlive-bin.

 MacPorts will not see that you have set the environment variable
 `TEXLIVE_INSTALL_PREFIX` because MacPorts intentionally ignores user
 environment variables in order to provide a consistent experience.
 MacPorts can be told not to ignore certain environment variables but I
 doubt that's the correct thing to do in this case; it doesn't look like
 texlive-bin would make use of that environment variable.
