Usually, they are. But they are installed in a way, that you have to
use teTeX tools to generate the tfm and pk files. So, if you call
mktexpk ecrm10
you'll get the necessary file to call mf with. This is a short file
named ecrm10.mf which imports ecrm.mf to generate the 10 pt version
of the ecrm font. You can call
mktexmf ecrm10
to generate the .mf, .tfm and .pk file, but usually you leave it up to
(la)tex to call mktextfm on request. So if you use
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
in your LaTeX input, and latex can't find the required ecrm10.tfm
file, latex will call mktextfm to generate the required file, and
dvips or xdvi will call mktexpk to generate the required .pk files.
I'm shure all this is described much better in the teTeX
documentation, so maybe you should call
texdoc TETEXDOC
wait for xdvi to have all fonts generated, and will be able to read
the teTeX documentation on the screen.

ps.:
texdoc -l TETEXDOC
will show you the place where this docu lives.
