 Oh, that's probably it. I think I've stepped on other manifestations
 of this problem before, actually.
 
 Yes, copying /usr/pkg/share/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf over
 /usr/pkg/etc/texmf/texmf.cnf made it work.
 
 Is there some reason that the copy in PKG_SYSCONFDIR doesn't update
 itself? I've never changed it except to update it from the master copy
 on one or two previous occasions when it's also caused everything to
 stop working, and my understanding of CONF_FILES is that in that case
 it should autoupdate.
