/opt/local/share/texmf-local is also reserved for user-installed
tex packages.

(I've wondered if we ought to use /usr/local/share/texmf for that instead,
but left it this way for backward-compatibility. There may also still
be a couple ports that install into texmf-local, although they
shouldn't.)
