Yes, and more often than not the answer is 'texlive-latex-extra'. I've
thought about adding it to the default texlive installation, but that's
probably not a great idea since it's by far the largest texlive port in
download/installation size.

I recently added a note to the texlive metaport pointing out that
additional packages are available. I should put a link to the wiki page
there. That may help some.

(BTW, the information on that page is derived from the contents of
/opt/local/share/doc/texlive -- but those are only available for the
ports already installed, which makes them less useful)
