TeXLive _has_ been ported to FreeBSD, it's just not in the ports tree.
You are supposed to use ports-mgmt/portshaker to augment your tree
with the TexLive ports. That is, unless you want to download the
pre-built packages available on the site above (which I haven't tried).

TeXLive works perfectly well for me on BETA-2 - I just stopped working on a
document to respond to this email. =)
