You won't need the substitution, so regexp should do.

  set dot_count [regexp -all \\. $version]

Another way would be splitting on the delimiter and count the elements.
Of course, for the actual number of dots you need to decrement the
result by one.

  set dot_count [expr [llength [split $version .]] - 1]
