It would have been better if we'd remembered this needed updating and put something in place that would work with both Tcl versions, but it will start working again once the workers selfupdate to the new base version.

The same problem also affects the other buildbot workers that had not updated to MacPorts 2.8.0 yet.

And the first build with MacPorts 2.8.0 will fail on macOS 11 and later due to #66031.
