Oh, I guess the vim binary actually linked against libtcl.dylib, so the
rebuild was necessary. Vim should be rev-bumped if +tcl is in the
default variants.

Loosing a variant when recompiling shouldn't happen. From what I recall,
I wrote code to specifically prevent this, which was later simplified by
jmr. Maybe somebody who understands the way variants are evaluated in
MacPorts could have a look at the code and see why this happens?
