Dear Ryan, I will give that a try.
I am sure I installed Macports on the system many, many, moons ago, probably on a 2008 MacBook Pro -- the predecessor to my current device.

Not only pre-2014, but pre-Mac OS X 10.6. For Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.4 we compile ppc and i386, but for Mac OS X 10.6 and later we compile i386 and x86_64. Hopefully whatever put this ancient part of MacPorts on your system recently didn't also replace other files you needed with older versions. I still suspect that reinstalling MacPorts using our installer will delete /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl and set this right. If not, try deleting /opt/local/share/macports/Tcl yourself.
