Then fails running INITEX because it can't find the US hyphenation

    *** Error code 1

I don't know what file it's looking for; the only installed
hyphen-named file I find is:


    cshenton@Palimpsest(307> find /usr/local/share/ -name '*hyphen*'
    /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/hyphen.tex

And there is a hyphen.ltx in the port's work dir:

    cshenton@Palimpsest(308> find /usr/ports/print/latex/work/ -name '*hyphen*'
    /usr/ports/print/latex/work/base/lthyphen.dtx
    /usr/ports/print/latex/work/base/hyphen.ltx

the latter tries to include a "hyphen.tex" file and fails if it can't
find it, but the error message doesn't tell me where it's trying to
look for the file:

    \InputIfFileExists{hyphen.tex}%
       {\message{Loading hyphenation patterns for US english.}%
	\language=0
	\lefthyphenmin=2 \righthyphenmin=3 }%
