Description
I'm not sure port BibTool actually needs texlive to run, since it's an independantly distributed program. TeXlive is quite a bit package and for me it's redundant because I have a separate non-macports install.
Anyway, BibTool seems to build fine with the depends_lib bin:tex:texlive line commented out, and otool -L does not report a dependancy in the binary.

Indeed, the amount of packages that bibtool draws is insane. bibtool is a command-line tool, it does not need graphics, for instance. But it compiles stuff like xorg and openmotif.

It seems to me that the only way bibtool would actually depend on texlive (beyond just not being very interesting without bibtex) is that it would link against libkpathsea if built with --with-kpathsea. In that case, it should depend on texlive-bin.
We aren't currently building it with kpathsea support. We might want to do it at some point, but for now this is an unnecessary dependency.
