Nadev is quite right. When I switched to teTeX I had some confusion, too.
(I had always used the U Wash. tape.) Use 'pkg_delete' on all the tex
packages including the support packages like dvips, etc. Reinstall teTex
(everything you need is included with teTeX), cd to /usr/local/teTeX and
run 'bin/texconfig'. You don't have to change much -- and you're off and
running.

->Jay, there is no tex binary at all. And there is no tetex/bin-directory
