Install MacPorts version of LaTeXML but MacTeX's TeXLive not MacPorts'?

If that's the only problem, one can change (=add) TEXMF variable inside
    /usr/local/texlive/2012/texmf.cnf

It's currently set to
    TEXMF = {$TEXMFCONFIG,$TEXMFVAR,$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFDIST}
but one can easily add another directory to the list, for example:

# I'm not sure which one is the right tree to add
TEXMFPORTS=/opt/local/share/texmf;/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive;/opt/local/share/texmf-texlive-dist
# if you put it last on the list it will have the lowest priority when
searching for files
TEXMF = {$TEXMFCONFIG,$TEXMFVAR,$TEXMFHOME,!!$TEXMFSYSCONFIG,!!$TEXMFSYSVAR,!!$TEXMFMAIN,!!$TEXMFLOCAL,!!$TEXMFDIST,!!TEXMFPORTS}

It needs some manual tweaking, but it's doable if one is ready to
spend a couple of extra minutes tweaking the installation.

PS: I wanted to suggest to set TEXMFPORTS to
/opt/local/share/texmf-[mac]ports to get clear distinction between
texlive and other ports (like gnuplot) installing files there.
