Well, as Hiroki Sato is also working on it and has explained how cool are his ports in the ports@ mailing list, I have just done the easiest for me to have a TeXLive setup working on my computer while there is no official TeXLive ports in the FreeBSD ports tree. In other word, 1577 new ports, and you have to fix any other port depending on *TeX* that fails by hand. As it worked quite good (one you have all you want installed), and I know at least one other person interested in having something --- even somewhat broken --- *now*, I have just updated the freebsd-texlive google group repository [1] with latest TeXLive packages, tinderbuilt the 1577 ports and created a tag. If you can't wait for Hiroki's ports, you can merge them in your FreeBSD ports tree, using portshaker [2] for example.
