 For someone who knows tcl (I know to do this kind of things in Perl or C).

 It could depend on the macports-provided tclsh for some features only. The
 version in /usr/bin/tclsh should be sufficient as a fallback.

 any more - anyone running it should probably move to 10.5 any way.

 I won't upgrade to 10.5 because some of my hardware is incompatible with
 it. Then perhaps a solution would be to install a more recent tcl version
 in /usr/local. But that won't solve the problem if MacPorts hardcodes the
 path to /usr/bin/tclsh.
