Comment(by mdippery@…):

 I re-examined this issue and found that while the problem cropped up when
 I launched MacPorts' `wish`, the issue *is* with `tcl`, not `tk`. The
 problem is that the `--disable-corefoundation` flag is passed to
 `./configure` when building `tcl`, but building without CoreFoundation
 support breaks the `+quartz` variant of `tk`.

 I'm not sure why `tcl` is built without CoreFoundation support. I did find
 [http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macports-
 dev/2009-October/010420.html this post] which describes the issue, but
 clearly fixing *that* issue also breaks usage of `tcl` with `tk +quartz`.

 I'm posting a patch that fixes the problem, although perhaps it'd be
 better to allow `tcl` to have a CoreFoundation-enabled variant? I'll let
 the maintainers think about it.
