FWIW I pushed wip/tcl9, a crude mod of some of lang/tcl's  after a url2pkg. I haven't ported any of the patches from the original, it (almost) builds for me under -current NetBSD amd64 without any. The only problem I am having is that for some reason it fails to build unix/tclsh itself, after building all the .o files and the libraries, so I have to manually (cd work/tcl9.0/unix && make) to complete the build; I couldn't figure out this. 

Subsequently the tests pass:

...
Tests ended at Fri Dec 27 13:45:26 GMT 2024
all.tcl:        Total   143     Passed  127     Skipped 16      Failed  0
Sourced 0 Test Files.
Number of tests skipped for each constraint:
        8       have_gdbm
        8       have_lmdb
...

I'll try tk9 later.
