I'm tanlking only about the packages. I suppose except for the installing method the macports texlive is standard. So there should be a texmf directory where all packages are installed to. If you configure tlmgr to update and install to your local texmf tree you could install your missing/needed packages and use the native update function. If you want to uninstall you just have to uninstall the port and delete the local texmf tree.

Use the local tree. That's why it exists.
