OK, I wasn't very good on this point - sorry about that. There are old
versions in TeTeX, and they don't work that well for me personally [in fact,
they don't appear to be installed properly and I couldn't even get simple
examples to compile with what's in TeTeX.] teTeX is also missing the fairly
vital documentation and examples without which one is pretty much stuck. The
ports I've posted are up to date. There are no incompatibilities since the
ports install in texmf-local, thus preserving whatever was in textmf-dist.

This does perhaps raise a question of what we should do when there are
semi-duplicates with teTeX... Especially with something like beamer has a
much quicker release schedule than the somewhat monolithic teTeX.
