You should not force the activation.

Since we don't yet know why this problem happened for you, uninstalling and reinstalling MacPorts again might result in the same problem again, so I would not recommend doing that at this point.

tk should not provide /opt/local/include/X11/X.h. What else does it provide that it should not? What's the output of:

port contents tk

If we could see the log of the tk build, that might help us understand why it is providing files it should not, but unfortunately, MacPorts automatically removes the logs of builds it considers successful.
