It is possible, and I have this setup running on a Debian server.

Nope, that's certainly not the problem, since using the bundled Tcl works
perfectly for me.

I think you are missing the gnustep foundation libs and some other packages. The
MacPorts configure script should automatically figure out the right flags to pass
for this linking step, and -framework CoreFoundation -framework SystemConfiguration
are definitely not the right flags - something went wrong at the configure level.

No, and it's not supported.
