Maybe I'm misremembering, but did Okayama's texlive package not install
everything?

If so, would we need a system-tex package?  It was dropped on 10.5,
after all, because the maintainer decided it was too much of a headache
due to upstreams doing stuff with each update that broke his efforts. 
And the whole X11 experience on 10.5 has shown us how difficult it can
be to deal with big packages that are outside of the Fink distribution.
