>Description:
The file /usr/ports/x11/xfree86/scripts/configure assumes a 1:1
correlation between the installed version of tk and tcl.  This is a
false assumption, especially at version 8 where the latest version
of tk is 8.0 and the latest version of tcl is 8.1.  This causes
XFree86 to have link errors during install because it looks for
libtcl80 when it should be looking for libtcl81.
>How-To-Repeat:
1) Install tk8.0 and tcl8.1.  Make sure tcl8.0 is not installed.
2) Make XFree86 3.3.2 port.
3) Install XFree86 3.3.2 port.
>Fix:
Preferred:  Dynamically find tcl version that corresponds to major
version of tk installed.

Acceptible:  Add logic to check if tcl 8.1 is installed and use it
instead of assuming 8.0 in the configure script.
