* LIB_DEPENDS= tcl74\\.1\\.:${PORTSDIR}/lang/tcl \

They don't cause a problem during build because they're LIB_DEPENDS,
which checks the existence of the indicated shared libraries using
"ldconfig -r" and attempts to build them only if they don't exist. In
your case those libraries do exist, so the build dirs never get
checked.
However, to build a package, we need the ${PKGNAME} of the depended
port, as package dependencies are based entirely on package names.
bsd.port.mk obtains this by going into the depended port's directory
and do a "make package-name" (which is actually just a "echo
${PKGNAME}"). So if you don't have /usr/ports/lang/tcl (should be
tcl74, as someone else pointed out), it fails.
