I don't see the conflict?

$ pkg_info|grep -e ^tk -e ^tcl
tcl-8.5.19p6        Tool Command Language
tcl-8.6.16          Tool Command Language
tk-8.5.19p2         graphical toolkit for Tcl
tk-8.6.16           graphical toolkit for Tcl

Our Tcl/Tk packages only provide binaries which include version numbers,
there's no package providing /usr/local/bin/wish, and other ports use
patches/sed/.. to set #! lines correctly. That's done for xorriso-tcltk:

$ head -1 /usr/local/bin/xorriso-tcltk 
#!/usr/local/bin/wish8.5

unless there's a special reason for using a different Tcl/Tk version
(i.e. some software requires a newer or older version), the normal
approach in ports is to use the default version specified in
lang/tcl/tcl.port.mk / x11/tk/tk.port.mk. I wonder if we're anywhere
near flipping the default to 8.6 though..
