Yes, TeXLive is one option but it is a _big_ project to rip apart the TeXLive distribution, build the binaries from source and repackage the TeX files into something like the texmf/ directories of teTeX.
The good news is that Gerben Wierda is actually doing that work. He's speaking at a conference next week, so hopefully we'll have some good news then.
The real problem is that TeXLive is an entire parallel packaging scheme, not very compatible with MacPorts. Adapting TeXLive could be done, but it really needs someone to spend a lot of time making it work. That person won't be me in the near future; I am busy now with real work and keeping the getting all the haskell ports working with the latest compiler release.
I believe Gerben will also be publishing a complete source directory, so it should be straightforward to build a MacPort off of that.
