Comment:

 Here is what @ryandesign said about this:

 > The tk port doesn't provide a wish8.5 executable; it provides a wish8.6
 executable (and a wish symlink pointing to it, so you don't need to refer
 to it by version number).
 >
 > Mac OS X 10.6 and later include wish8.5. Earlier versions of Mac OS X
 had wish8.4.
 >
 > So it sounds like this port is really using macOS tk, and it should
 probably be switched to use MacPorts tk (assuming this software is
 compatible with tcl/tk 8.6). If it isn't, then the port should be reworked
 to remove this dependency and to use the correct version of wish for the
 current OS.
