Ah, my bad.
Hmm, well that all depends if system things changed out from under MacPorts.
For example, if libcurl breaks:
$ otool -L /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib
/opt/local/share/macports/Tcl/pextlib1.0/Pextlib.dylib:
Pextlib.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
/usr/lib/libcurl.4.dylib (compatibility version 6.0.0, current version
6.1.0)
/usr/lib/libedit.2.dylib (compatibility version 2.0.0, current version
2.11.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current
version 125.2.11)
Since it can (and has) happened in the past, it's better to just always install
a fresh version of the MacPorts files.
