Of course, if you want to come up with a script that will build Tcl 8.6 somwhere in a private prefix with --enable-threads and the thread module, be my guest :)
Attached is a script that does the full cycle, albeit for tcl 8.5.
and tcllib 1.15;
This would give us
(a) ... little headache to start, since we know ports works
with tcl 8.5
(b) ... a tcl8.5 for all Mac OS X versions to rely on
(c) ... the option to switch to the new "try" from tcllib
(d) ... the much nicer expand operator {*} instead
of the ugly and dangerous evals.
The macports private version is installed under
/opt/local/share/macports/{bin|lib|include|man},
so one can use this tclsh via preplacing
/usr/bin/tclsh in /opt/local/bin/port by
/opt/local/share/macports/bin/tclsh8.5
When sources are bundeled, the curl fetching
and untarring is of course not needed.
#
# 1) Fetch Tcl sources from sourceforge via curl
# 2) Unpack the tar file
# 3) configure, build, install Tcl as private copy of MacPorts
# under /opt/local/share/macports
#
# 4) Fetch tcllib
# 5) Unpack the tar file
# 6) configure, build, install Tcllib as private copy of MacPorts
# under /opt/local/share/macports
#
The next step would be is to update macports "try" version
with the new syntax (i could help with this, if there is interest)
and use "try" from tcllib, then we would be on the
way towards tcl 8.6....

PS: the thread modules (tcllibthread) is not needed for MacPorts.
