  Thank you for your interest in moy trouble first of all,
  as to how I determine it is rather simple I just see
  a structure of my /usr/ports directory.As soon as
  I do not see subdirectories kde Tcl I guess they
  are not here.
  But if in doubt I can surely send the listing of
  ls -al /usr/ports along my ports-supfile if you need
  it.
  Best Regards,
  Ariel Burbaickij
