Strange tk wish issue with Mac OS X 10.5.6

I'm seeing a strange error when I try to run wish - I checked and  
it's /opt/local/bin/wish8.4. Note that I'm running tk 8.4.19 in order  
to also run blt [1].

This error started when I updated to 10.5.6. Before that it has worked  
just fine. I've since reinstalled Xcode 3.1.2. and Xquartz 2.3.1. I've  
also reinstalled my tk 8.4.19 port (many times). Any ideas? I have  
checked and /opt/local/lib/tk8.4/tk/tcl does exist.

This probably means that tk wasn't installed properly.
