Comment:

 According to [http://wiki.tcl.tk/1530 this page], lassign was not part of
 Tcl until version 8.5. Tiger has Tcl 8.4, and I am able to reproduce the
 problem on Tiger. So MacPorts should not use lassign. lassign is the only
 port doing so; since we've gotten by for years with thousands of ports
 without lassign, I imagine levmar can get along without it too.
