This won't do anything useful; it will change directory in the shell
created by system, which immediately exits. The Tcl script's directory is
not changed at all (and almost certainly shouldn't be).

You probably want to read https://guide.macports.org/#reference, and
possibly a Tcl programming guide.

This thing really wants you to separately configure in two different
directories? Ick. I don't think you'll be able to use MacPorts' built-in
configure support, which will make things even uglier.
