Comment (by chrstphrchvz):

 The distfiles for both `tcl` and `tk` were stealth updated on 2018-11-16;
 the new Tcl distfile contains a fix for a
 [https://github.com/tcltk/tcl/commit/6363424fcc3bdaf60fbdbbcec630826a58f34263
 base64 encoding bug], and the new Tk distfile fixes a
 [https://code.activestate.com/lists/tcl-core/20432/ severe memory leak bug
 on macOS].

 However the new distfile for Tk 8.6.9 contains another regression, leading
 to Tk 8.6.9.1 being released for Mac a few hours ago.

 Only a new distfile for Tk was posted though; the latest Tcl will still be
 8.6.9 from 2018-11-16. I'm not sure if the
 [https://trac.macports.org/wiki/PortfileRecipes#stealth-updates usual
 advice for handling stealth updates] by changing `dist_subdir` is usable
 in this case, because `tcl`, `tk`, and many dependent ports already have
 this set to `dist_subdir tcltk`.
