Comment (by pereimer):

 Since it is probably the only way that I will be able to install this
 package, could you tell me how I can get port to use external
 environmental variables (e.g. TEXLIVE_INSTALL_PREFIX)?  While I could
 install it directly, I am installing things which depend on texlive and
 would like to do those via macports, so I believe that I need texlive
 installed via macports.

 I did notice that from {{{port file all|sort -u|xargs grep /Library/ }}}
 that kde4-kile uses a variable {{{TEXPREFIX}}} to reference the
 installation location; although {{{/Library/TeX}}} seems to be hardwired
 into most of the other ports.

 I doubt that I am the only person to not have root privileges and wanting
 to install TeX, so would be of general use.

 Thanks,

 Paul
