--- Comment #12 from Mikhail T. <mi@ALDAN.algebra.com> ---
How about I modify wnb to use tclsh instead of wish, and try loading Tk at
runtime like this:

#!/usr/local/bin/tclsh8.6

if {[catch {package require Tk} err]} {
        puts stderr "Error initializing GUI: $err\n\nThis program requires Tk.\
            Please, install the x11-toolkits/tk[string map {. {}} $tcl_version]
port."
        exit 1
}

This will give the user a fair explanation without adding the OPTIONS and
creating multiple versions of the package? Because even with your patch, if the
user declines the GUI-option, the port would still install wnb -- just as
unusable as it is currently...
