Right, so we get the three settings. Four, if you count "tclpackage".
/Library/Tcl being another magic location of Mac OS X, Ticket #12943
Note that the defaults change to ~, if not installing as root user.
(i.e. ~/Applications/MacPorts, ~/Library/Frameworks, ~/Library/Tcl)

But moving frameworks to inside prefix would be a good thing anyway,
even if not able to move the other two locations due to restrictions.
