I been using miktex portable with some succes on msys2, as for the php dependency you might need to port it.

example of a bash script you can use with miktex ->

##########################################################################################
# TEX

prefix="/opt/miktex"
exec_prefix="${prefix}"
PATH=$PATH:${exec_prefix}/miktex/bin
export PATH

unset prefix
unset exec_prefix

#
##########################################################################################

save as miktex.sh and drop in /etc/profile.d

install miktex portable in C:\Msys64\opt\miktex

with this i been able to build full documentation for the gcc sources and several other,
so it might work for you.

    Hi,

    New to msys2 last week. It has helped me tremendously in getting a
    build
    environment up and running for a native Linux gtk program.

    I need two packages that don't seem to be available through pacman
    -Ss.
    They are php5-cli and texlive-xetex. Can someone give me some
    advice on
    the best/easiest way to get those packages and build them for mingw64?
    Perhaps I could learn how to put them together so that others could
    install them through pacman in the future...


Unfortunately, texlive doesn't build out of the box using mingw64.
That would certainly be most desirable, it is not that easy.
There are many subtleties in the code with path handling that would
need to be sorted out.

Your best bet is to download texlive from http://texlive.tug.org/texlive/
But beware that is will only handle Win32 paths (c:/TeXLive/texmf/...).
