I agree, I also prefer mpvim for editing Portfiles. Specifying
filetype=tcl in the modeline overrides the syntax and compiler settings
provides by mpvim [1] and falls back to plain Tcl syntax highlighting,
which does not recognize our Tcl extensions and does not provide the
functionality to run 'port lint' using the :make command within vim.

What I could do about it would be that vim installed from MacPorts would
recognize Portfile as filetype=tcl by default. This could then be
overridden by installing mpvim and no filetype= setting would be
required in Portfiles as long as vim from MacPorts is used.

Is there any other editor that understands and uses filetype=tcl in the
modeline and would loose functionality by removal? Emacs?
