Comment (by chrstphrchvz):

 Replying to [comment:3 ryandesign]:
 > MacPorts runs as the `macports` user. This user does not have permission
 to access the X server, which is apparently what test-for-tk.tcl does by
 attempting to include the Tk package:

 That explains why this test won't work if the `tk +x11` variant is active,
 but if the `tk +quartz` variant is used instead, the same `sudo -u
 macports /opt/local/bin/tclsh` command works, so I don't think the fact
 the `macports` user is used explains the whole story. Even `sudo -u
 macports perl -e "print qx(/opt/local/bin/tclsh test-for-tk.tcl)"` seems
 to work as long as the `tk +quartz` variant is active.
