It's been one of the annoying ports to fake, because its configure script was special.
I haven't maintained it for a while, but it looks like teTeX itself has been cleansed. What you report looks like exactly the issues we used to have with teTeX. Part of texlive is probably not cleaned. Best way is to figure out the part that doesn't obey DESTDIR correctly, and explain that to the texlive people, and get them to put a new version out. Good luck.
