The textproc/tkxmlive port has nothing to do with TeXLive. Currently, the TeXLive distribution of TeX is not in ports. Probably because it uses its own configuration script and package manager. But TeXLive is not difficult to install. I've documented my installation on my UNIX miscellanea page: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/unix/misc.xhtml#updatingtexlivetoversion2009 If you want to use ports that depend on TeX but are not in TeXLive (like e.g. auctex) you have to patch those ports' Makefiles before installing or upgrading them.
