I just issued the following command on a newly setup workstation
(up to date as of yesterday with respect to ports):
[update.utmb.edu:bdodson:151] % latex doc.tex
This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4)
kpathsea: Running mktexfmt latex.fmt
fmtutil: format `latex' not available.
I can't find the format file `latex.fmt'!
[update.utmb.edu:bdodson:152] % 
I've read UPDATING; I've done the suggestions on
<url>
(and have done no further manual configuration)
I've searched the reading list archives for ports, questions, stable
for tetex and found nothing on point.
The head of this latex file is:
[update.utmb.edu:bdodson:153] % more doc.tex

\section{Introduction}
These programs (wham and wham-2d) implement the Weighted Histogram
[elided]
What the heck happened to this important subsystem?  It used to
work as close to troublefree as could be reasonably expected.

I have a little over 400 ports installed on this workstation, but
relative to my reinstall of things to try to get teTeX working,
here they are (this is from an ls -t of /var/db/pkg, keeping only
the ones which were reinstalled or affected by the reinstall):
cmpsfont-1.0_4
amspsfnt-1.0_3
acroread-5.10_1,1
mathfonts-4.1
texcm-ttf-20010117
ttmkfdir-20021109_1
dvipsk-tetex-5.95a_1
teTeX-3.0
xdvik-tetex-22.84.8_1
teTeX-base-3.0_3
libwww-5.4.0_1
t1lib-5.0.1,1
teTeX-texmf-3.0_3
texi2html-1.76_1,1
tex-texmflocal-1.9
Note I followed the instructions at the url indicated in my
original email: <url>
which ended indicating that no further configuration should be
necessary.  I specifically did no further configuration to keep
things simple for debugging purposes (although I obviously
installed some additional ports after installing teTeX).

Hmmm... OK, I can do that.  A question though.  I've been using
teTeX on FreeBSD since the port entered the tree (2.0?).  Why
the change?  Is that something unique to the updated port or
a change in teTeX?
