After a quick look, it looks like ptex can only be build
within a full web2c build. This could be a reason for reintroducing
the dependency on the texmf package. Another possibility could
be to install only the needed files in a place where they would
be searched for during the build. 

Another possibility could be to drop the ptex support since it 
should really be integrated upstream and not in fedora. 

The debian solution is to add a package with stripped down tetex 
sources. This is also possible, but a fair amount of work.

Another possibility would be to package ptex separately, with the
main texlive source, and only build ptex in this srpm. This seems
to me to be the cleanest way, in fact.
