Yes, this was the solution chosen to allow different versions of Tcl to 
cohexist. You can install tcl85 and tcl86 in parallel, and they won't 
have conflicting man page files because of the suffix.

Not out of the box, I fear. What you could you is to redefine MAN_SUFFIX 
in lang/tcl86/Makefile. pkg-plist will need adjustment as it hardcodes 
the tcl86 part. So we could add MAN_SUFFIX to the PLIST_SUB list and use 
that in pkg-plist.

If you have a better suggestion, I'm all ears :)
