Hi Martin,

I see no major issues with the proposal (all else being equal), though:

1) Re the wish symlink, if it doesn't already, the tk/tcl port(s) (or the
framework they use, Uses/tcl.mk) should be installing the foo->fooX.Y versi=
oned
symlinks accordingly to the specified (user, or the default) DEFAULT_VERSION
for consuming software (ala hg) to reference in their scripts, rather than
requiring patching of scripts/shebangs in each of the consuming software po=
rts
source files.

2) Given the size of the tcl/tk stack, put the functionality under an
appropriately named OPTION, providing a conditional/optional dependency, ra=
ther
than a compulsory one. I dont think there would be an issue to provide this=
 as
an OPTIONS_DEFAULTS so that packages.=20

However, I also note that:

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/HgkExtension

lists hgk as an "unloved feature", and recommends, hgview, which is in Free=
BSD
Ports here: https://www.freshports.org/devel/hgview/ (and needs a maintaine=
r)
