My goal was the second point. As we have distfile mirrors now, it should not have been a problem to distribute our own tarballs. But before that, making the whole thing compile* was needed. Note that there is yet another solution which is install precompiled binaries as they come with mactex instead of compiling as texlive_base does. Problem is, it installs in /usr/texbin and is probably not flexible about that. *: and not step over other ports as ps2eps, t1utils, xdvipdfmx, ... and install in destroot properly.
