How-to on TeXLive

Is there any how-tos concerning current TeXLive in FreeBSD ports? I've just installed huge 2GiB port to discover there's no pdflatex there! Also how to install additional fonts? I couldn't find .map files that I used to have in previous versions.
May be more specific forums to advise me? I need them for manual font installation, don't I?
 
May I.
/usr/local/sbin/pkg -d which `which pdflatex` gives:
Code:
DBG(1)[66654]> pkg initialized
/usr/local/bin/pdflatex was installed by package tex-formats-20150521_2
Is that the pdflatex you are looking for?.
pdflatex is a symbolic link to pdftex(1).
 
I see they made tremendous complexity out of everithing.
On a clean system I've installed texlive ports. Now I need tex-formats and learn for months again where to put all that used to work...
 
I have texlive-base, texlive-texmf, texlive-texmf-source…
And still “command not found” for pdflatex.
And .map fonts files, where are they?
 
Code:
/usr/local/bin/pdflatex was installed by package tex-formats-20150521_2
And what is strange for me, I have an old machine also, so with working pdflatex, and pkg which says me that it ( pdftex specifically) was installed by print/tex-basic-engines, (not print/tex-formats as for Polyatomic, also!) so, not texlive, which I also have and have it up-to-date.
So, the reason for such a cumbersome system like TeXLive and its associates to have good How-to. (And, by the way, tree structure and management in FreeBSD is different from other -unices.)
