I'm using the ports collection of the FreeBSD TeXLive project (http://code.google.com/p/freebsd-texlive/). I tried to uncomment all unnessecary languages in language.dat but that didn't help. After installing the ports collection it was recommended to use the collection-packages for installing LaTeX. I had to install greek language support because of the same error as above.

I've found only the following:
/usr/local/bin/kpsewhich
/usr/local/man/man1/kpsewhich.1.gz
/usr/local/share/texmf/doc/man/man1/kpsewhich.1
/usr/local/share/texmf/doc/man/man1/kpsewhich.man1.pdf

and

/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/language.dat.lua
/usr/local/share/texmf-dist/doc/generic/babel/language.dat
/usr/local/share/texmf-dist/doc/xelatex/xecyr/language.dat.add
/usr/local/share/texmf-dist/source/generic/babel/language.dat
