*And* grab a package which looks something like
"222upgrade-97.??.??.tgz".  That package will upgrade your ports
subsytem, ie. /usr/share/mk/bsd.port[.subdir].mk, and
/etc/mtree/BSD.x11.dist, to the current (required) versions.  Or
grab those files from
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/. 

In general, we like ports to compile on older releases of
FreeBSD, including 2.2.2.  If you find one that doesn't and you
can fix it so that it does, feel free to send the fix back to the
maintainer.

You might likely have to upgrade any ports of or using Tcl/Tk to
the current version of the port.  ie. pkg_delete, and then
install it from the new port.
