+1 from me, FWIW...

I've made my MacPorts completely self-contained and this helps.

(Along the same lines, I've changed all my Python ports to install under ${prefix}/lib, and other things to install under ${prefix}/ Applications -- multiple, parallel binary distributions are required and we keep *everything* installed by our MacPorts under a *single* directory tree.)

For MacPorts 1.6, it might be a good idea to consider moving "macports1.0" from the current @TCL_PACKAGE_DIR@ directory to the @prefix_expanded@/share/macports/Tcl directory, in order to make the MacPorts installation self-contained within the designated prefix ?

If the "macports1.0" module needs to be in the system's Tcl package directory in order for other (inferior) software to find it, then can't this be accomplished by setting up a symbolic link ? e.g. / Library/Tcl/macports1.0 -> /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/macports1.0
