I posted a while ago on tech-pkg (around 7 april 2005) a proposition  
of a mk/latex.mk file to provide for tetex about the same  
functionality as the emacs.mk file do for emacs : allow to deal  
smoothly with dependancies over different latex implementation,  
different texmf tree locations, and such

I also posted a PR about it: pkg/30012
I used it for some time, but reverted back since then, seing that  
nobody seemed interested.

Indeed, this proposition had at least one bug, it do not install  
teTeX if it is not installed, but the other intended features worked

Please let me know if you are interested in this idea, we could make  
it more robust, and help fix some of the issues with the different  
tetex ports

regards,
antoine
