It's not a recommendation; it's a requirement for using MacPorts the way it's currently programmed.
I unfortunately conflated two questions that aren't really related; I'm sorry for that.

The important question for me is "Can I install Macports without tclConfig.sh?"  The answer seems to be "No", which is a problem because, regardless of whether I install Xcode in a standard or non-standard location, it's not installing tclConfig.sh; and my installation of Snow Leopard (from a master image at $WORK) doesn't include that file either.  (I don't have the disks for Snow Leopard, so I can't re-install it; and Xcode is freshly downloaded from developer.apple.com, so I think it's not the problem.)  Thus, my question is:  Given that I don't currently have tclConfig.sh, how can I generate it, or otherwise get past this step of ./configure?

(The *other*, less important question, is "Can I install Macports if my Xcode is in a non-standard location?"  Your answer seems to be "No", but, aside from this problem with tclConfig.sh --which is *missing*, not just in the wrong location!-- it seems to have gone OK so far.)

Thanks for your help.  I'm sorry again for posing the question badly.
