I have
   PAPERSIZE=Letter
in mk.conf and tex DTRT without the text/papersize package installed
at all. I don't know what happens if you don't set PAPERSIZE but do
use the papersize package. As I noted here a while ago though, it's
been a long long time since I've had a problem and I use tex quite a
bit.
