Yes, TeX Live is much more recent than teTeX. TeTeX is deprecated,
although it can still be useful if all you need to do is to write some
basic TeX or LaTeX documents, but any third-party macros or programs
like pdflatex are woefully old now.

This may be a heretical thing to say on this list (!) but you may want
to consider installing TeX Live outside of pkgsrc
(https://www.tug.org/texlive/acquire-netinstall.html). I'm not sure
how up-to-date TeX Live is in pkgsrc.
