Look at it carefully, it is not building itcl, it's building tcl.
This is the same thing you've reported before.

There is already a hack in bsd.port.mk that allows you to skip these
stuff.  I think I sent you a mail when I added this, didn' I?

I know this is not a really desirable solution. The "real" fix will
come (hopefully) sometime later this week when I manage to reorganize
the whole "dependency" paradigm.

Add IS_DEPENDED_TARGET to change the behavior of a port when you want
to do something else than "install".  For example,

make IS_DEPENDED_TARGET=fetch fetch

will fetch the required distfiles including those of the dependencies
without actually building and installing dependencies.

Also document ECHO_MSG.
