As far as I can tell it's the sheer size of TexLive that is keeping it
from being ported. I would think it is not trivial to modularize it
enough to bring the installed size down.
What I am thinking about is building a minimal context port. This
should be easier to accomplish since we already have a minimal texmf
tree thanks to Hans. All that is needed is a source for the FreeBSD
binaries. These could be built out of the TexLive source tree...
I'll try to cook something up the next couple of days.
Cheers,
Olaf
