I also migrated from a G4 to an Intel Mac recently. However I have  
nothing in /Library/Tcl called thread2.6.1, so I don't know how you  
got that. It must not be a part of the base MacPorts install. I'm not  
sure if maybe some port you installed added that, or if some other  
non-MacPorts package installed it. In any case I would remove it.

Since removing it breaks your port system, you should at that point  
rebuild MacPorts. You can download the MacPorts 1.4.0 disk image and  
reinstall and hopefully it will work at that point.
