A workaround would be to introduce a new configuration variable,
PREFERREDDIST which is either tetex or texlive, and simply delete the
other one from texmfdist.
I don't know if it's worth to put much effort in hacking texdoctk to
support parallel TEXMFDIST trees, in particular since we want to retire
teTeX anyway...
