i still believe this is a bug in that package. Tcl TEA build 
system works fine with multiple installations since many 
years, packages should use TEA and not use their own 
searches. btw., if the package making troubles is a tcl 
extension, then loading this package into the tcl installed 
from macports, it will likely crash.

This looks easy enough (attached is the modified port file). 
I am not sure, what's the best way is to submit the changed 
portfile. Should i create a ticket on 
https://trac.macports.org/report or is this ignored in case 
there is no maintainer...
