 * Except, for instance, if you have compiled anything whose name contains
 * tcl in /usr/src.  It seems to me that using that many wildcards in an rm
 * is just asking for angry admins.

That's why it's asking you to do it instead of doing it by itself.  If 
you are experienced enough to put something non-standard in /usr/src,
you are expected to know what you're doing.

Anyway, I am eagerly awaiting someone who's been running -current to
submit an updated checklist and diagnoses.  (Not to pick on you Dan,
but why is it that the fix/complaint ratio is so low these days on the
FreeBSD lists?)

To start out, here's what I think is appropriate:

check for:

 /usr/include/tcl.h /usr/lib/libtcl??.so.*.*

tell users to:

 delete the above two
 if they don't want system tcl, rm -rf /usr/{include,libdata}/tcl,
    /usr/{lib,bin}/*tcl*, /usr/share/man/*n/*
 run ldconfig -R

(I believe system tcl installs libtcl.so.*.* now.)
