There are a number of TeXLive packages for language support, including 
texlive-lang-german. They might more properly be called bundles of 
smaller LaTeX packages. See, for instance, 
https://trac.macports.org/wiki/TeXLivePackages. You might already have 
some/most of the packages in texlive-lang-german, but installing it is 
an easy way to make sure you have them all (and thus, hopefully, all the 
ones you need).
