So far what we have found is that texlive-texmf is not required by too
many ports but one of the major ports that require it is tex-formats
which is a requirements of many other ports specially doxygen.

Based on these I have reduced the requirements of texlive-texmf itself
and moved the requirements to tex-formats which will greatly reduce the
frequent rebuilds of texlive-texmf. But by no means it reduces the build
time of texlive-texmf. Hope everyone enjoys that. :)
