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.
