Comment (by macports@…):

 With some searching I found "install_name_tool" (from
 [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1937232/linking-to-a-dynamic-library-
 on-a-mac-with-full-path a Stack Exchange question about OSX library
 linking with full paths]), which can be used to change the embedded path
 to a dylib within an executable, viz:

 {{{
 sudo install_name_tool -change
 "/opt/local/lib:/opt/local/lib/libtk8.6.dylib"
 "/opt/local/lib/libtk8.6.dylib" /opt/local/bin/wish8.6
 }}}

 and having fixed the libtk8.6.dylib embedded path to be the obvious one
 (with the above command), it will then run, and the port "rev-upgrade"
 check doesn't find any issues.  So that embedded path seems to be the only
 problem (can someone change the ticket subject?)

 That "install_name_tool" manual change should at least provide a temporary
 work around (ie, until the next port build of tk) for anyone who has
 installed the 8.6.0 version and doesn't want to revert to the 8.5.13 (or
 similar) version.

 For reference, full approach:
