As Bruno points out, the TeX Distribution data for MacPorts is already
installed by all MacTeX distributions. Hence anybody who earlier
installed MacTeX and then installs MacPort's TeX can switch between
distributions using the TeX Distribution Pane in the standard way, and
need not reconfigure front ends or GUI utilities. The TeX distribution
is called "MacPorts teTeX" in the TeX Preference Pane list and should
be renamed "MacPorts TeX", but that will make no difference when using
the data. I'll rename next time around.
It would be easy to make a small install package which just installs
the TeX Distribution Data for MacPorts and doesn't write anything into
MacPort's directories. This package would install in directories which
MacPorts avoids, so it would need to be downloaded separately. But
users who install it woudn't need to reconfigure stuff for MacPorts.
