Except that it doesn't build. On a FreeBSD-2.2.7 system, building the
teTeX-0.4 port fails when it tries to build the plain.fmt file. I've
tried hand-building it in case the port was broken, but get essentially
the same failure:
Running initex to create plain format...

! Emergency stop.
I'll try again tomorrow with teTeX-beta. Sigh.
