That doesn't make MacPorts accept MacTeX as dependency, unless you
edit the binpath variable in your macports.conf and add the correct
path for MacTeX (iirc that was /usr/mactex/bin or something?).

For obvious reasons if MacTeX installs into /usr/local/bin (which I
doubt it does, but just for future reference and similar endeavors)
you should avoid doing that.
