Also, R requires the inconsolata.sty package[1] to build the PDF manuals, which is not in texlive_base: <dcoppa@t420:/usr/ports/print/texlive>$ grep -r inconsolata.sty * texmf/pkg/PLIST-full:share/texmf-dist/tex/latex/inconsolata/inconsolata.sty So you'd need a build dependency on the full TeXLive package: simply impractical.
