 After I got Pallet installed with an workaround that I describe in this
 ticket here [https://trac.macports.org/ticket/43922]
 I was asked from the program to choose the Tcl directory. In older days of
 Macports this directory was placed under "/Library/Tcl".

 In newer times this directory was moved to
 "/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/" and a symbolic link was placed in the old
 directory "/Library/Tcl" to keep older software up and running.

 But unfortunately I saw with "pacifist" that all installer packages of
 Macports 2.3.0 do not include the Tcl directory any longer.
 I looked in the following installers and Tcl directory was missing there:
 MacPorts-2.3.0-10.9-Mavericks.pkg
 MacPorts-2.3.0-10.8-MountainLion.pkg
 MacPorts-2.3.0-10.7-Lion.pkg
 MacPorts-2.3.0-10.6-SnowLeopard.pkg

 So neither the Tcl directory was forgotten in the installer of 2.3.0 or it
 was removed on purpose?
 If it was removed on purpose than Pallet needs to be changed that it not
 needs the files from the Tcl directory any longer.

 As workaround look with pacifist in an older installer for Macports
 version 2.2.1 (e.g. MacPorts-2.2.1-10.9-Mavericks.pkg) and here I could
 found
 the Tcl directory and just install this single directory with pacifist.

 And now after selecting in Pallet the Tcl directory
 "/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl" the software finally works a treat.

 (to select the Tcl directory first use "goto directory" in finder and than
 use "select..." in Pallet and drag the folder from the finder windows into
 the select window of Pallet)
