For regular things, TeTeX is fine, but for bigger projects one can't do without texlive. I encountered the same problems with default tetex, but installed TeXLive from DVD and I no longer have these problems :) But like Roland says, some ports depend on teTeX still and this is where I hope that developers find ways around them :) It took me a while to build evince, gnuplot and other math related ports without teTeX port.
