If you read CVS, bsd.port.mk was changed by asami on Janurary 2nd to check
for old versions of TCL, rather then checking the version of TCL, it just
checks to see if TCL is installed in (Asami's words) "the old place" <read
in: default location for all TCL, except for added by the new
ports/packages>. 

IMHO, this is a flaw, but what can you do.. besides nuke the files from
the locations, or tell bsd.port.mk not to check. (grep -i tcl
/usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk to see where it checks). 

would be much nicer to grab TCL_VERSION out of tcl.h, but when I presented
that to him I never got a reply..
