Comment:

 To be more precise, any program you sub-launch from a program will prefer
 to use the same architecture even if a "better" architecture is available.
 So an x86_64 terminal program, when launching the shell, will prefer to
 launch the x86_64 slice of the shell even if an arm64 slice is available.
 And the x86_64 shell will prefer to launch the x86_64 slice of port-tclsh,
 the version of tclsh that MacPorts runs under. And MacPorts decides how to
 build things based on the architecture it was started as.
