I recommend that you use TeXLive instead of the teTeX that comes with
FreeBSD. It's available from
ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/tex/systems/texlive/
(That's the German TeX Users' Group, you should probably pick a site
closer to you).
Grab the file
texlive-final-20010730.iso.bz2
This ISO image contains TeX setups for various Unix derivates (including
FreeBSD) and for Win*. In my opinion, it's got the best setup for TeX
stuff related to SGML/XML processing.
Greetings,
Holger
