/ OK. Since the port is interactive and asks where to put created fonts,
/ I will make the script more informative and change the defaults to
/ ${PREFIX}/lib/texmf/fonts/pk. 

Will this apply to the tex package as well (as oppose to the port)?

Okay.  I'll take a stab at bibtex.  Is it available at the same
ftp sites as Tex?  It'll be an excuse to learn the port system.

Are you also responsible for ghostscript?
It (the ghostscript-2.6.1.tgz package) installs with mode 444
for the directories.
