Okay.  So it works as designed. (c:

Yes.  The teTeX 3 installation for example was done using the ports
collection.

AFAIU /usr is for the base system, i.e. mostly BSD userland as the
kernel lives in /boot.  Then there is /usr/X11R6 for X and programs
running on X (e.g. firefox and gkrellm executables are in
/usr/X11R6/bin) and /usr/local for the majority of programs from the
ports collection.
