I may have missed something in the previous thread or in this thread... but what feature are you missing?
I don't know answer if full TeX Live distrubution is available in pkgsrc, but I use the pkgsrc for my LaTeX related work every week for over a decade. I have generated many documents (including books for print) and it has provided what I needed. I use lots of custom features (beyond the default installation), like: tex-tocbibind tex-cite tex-microtype tex-everypage tex-draftwatermark tex-lineno tex-tocloft Maybe someone can help you get the needed parts installed without having the full texlive.
