 > Okay, after a bit of a mess where trying to install the older tk made
 macports reinstall tcl 8.6 I have it ready to reinstall xcircuit.  What do
 I need to do there in order to avoid it trying to upgrade tcl/tk which is
 currently making it fail?

 You [http://guide.macports.org/#development.local-repositories create a
 local ports repository] and put it before macports' in sources.conf in
 order to assign it a higher precedence.

 That said please notice that having an old version of the library is
 likely to cause some issue, in my case rev-upgrade was triggering py-
 tkinter rebuild and that was failing due to the older Tk version. I'm
 looking forward to hear from xcircuit author about the (supposed) 8.6
 incompatibility.
