A few comments on ja-ptex-bin/INSTALL:

In what order does ptex search texmf trees?  If it searches $ 
{PKG_TEXMFLOCALPREFIX} and then ${PKG_TEXMFPREFIX}, I don't think it  
is necessary to modify pstricks files.  Instead, we can just install  
patched files into ${PKG_TEXMFLOCALPREFIX}.  In fact, this was the  
main motivation to split the texmf tree, i.e. an individual packages  
can override files provided by teTeX.  I also suspect that we can  
avoid modifying teTeX's texmf.cnf in this way, if it is supposed to  
be read by ptex only.  This could be wrong since I don't know how  
ptex works.

Another one I'd like to point out is that running mktexlsr is not  
necessary.  Just include print/teTeX/module.mk, and it will  
automatically update the ls-R database.

One minor thing: ${PKG_LOCALTEXMFPREFIX}/web2c should not be in ja- 
ptex-bin's PLIST.  It is already created/deleted by print/texmf-dirs.
