You are probably looking for pkgtools/texlive2pkg (thanks Mark!). Download

 http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive/tracklang.tar.xz
 http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive/tracklang.doc.tar.xz

and point texlive2pkg at the two files, and most of the work is done for you
(except for dependencies, I think). See texlive2pkg(8) for more details.
