Actually, that patch has nothing to do with libX11... that's entirely  
libxcb:

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xcb/libxcb/commit/?id=beccb0be15f5699c942a0af33307d9e4bf797e2a

Is the build of tk in question using xcb?  Or is it using a libX11  
that is using xcb (the one we provide does not, but if you enable the  
+xcb variant in MacPorts it will).

libxcb is still not mature enough in my opinion.  I think that it is  
definitely getting there, but not there yet.

Can you try rebuilding your code to not use libxcb and try again?
