[tex-live] xdvi and postscript fonts question

I would like to support X11 on Mac OS X with my TeX redistribution. 
This seems to work except for Postscript fonts. Can someone explain to 
me what is going on here and how I should go about fixing this? It 
looks like some mapping problem.

Here is the info:

When I add \usepackage{times} to sample2e.tex it compiles well, but 
opening it in xdvi gives the following error message:

kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode ljfour --bdpi 600 --mag 1+264/600 
--dpi 864 ptmb7t
mktexpk: don't know how to create bitmap font for ptmb7t.
xdvi: Can't find font ptmb7t; using Type1 version of cmr10 instead.

and a lot more like this one. Running the DVi file through dvicopy 
first fixes this. Dvicopy reports:
