I know this recommendation is painful to implement, but I suggest:

1. ls /var/db/pkg | lpr # so you know what packages you have installed
2. pkg_delete everything having to do with latex
3. reinstall tetex from the ports
4. add back the components of TeX that are not part of tetex

tetex is a coherent TeX distribution.  Mixing TeX distribution components
can be highly confusing to some of them (as you have found out).  You 
will get dvips as part of tetex.

Good luck,
Bud Dodson
