Take  the teTeX distribution from  any  CTAN site (ftp.dante.de is probably
the nearest for you).  It builds without any problem  on FreeBSD and you'll
get one of the best TeX/LaTeX dist. I've ever seen. 

There has been an update for the latest LaTeX2e release (Dec. '95). 

ftp.dante.de:/tex-archive/systems/unix/teTeX

Installation of the Dec. update of LaTeX2e was:
- tar xvf
- sh install.sh

and the program rebuilds everything it needs automatically. 

There is no binary distribution  for FreeBSD yet  but someone is working on
it and on a port for /usr/ports/print. Take the source and compile.

Great thanks to Thomas Esser !
