What?  There's a difference between  teTeX and laTeX?  Damn!  This
explains why there was no texconfig program this time around.  I thought
something was odd.

I'd recommend that the comments in both ports be a bit more verbose
if it is indeed the case that the latex port is outdated.

What I would do is to delete everything tex related (the tex, latex, xdvi, etc,
etc ports) and install the teTeX port - this has everything, including dvips.

(Probably this question belonged to a different mailing list, maybe
freebsd-ports.)
