Removing tcl8.5 and installing tcl8.4 does work. I do not remember
upgrading from 8.4 to 8.5 but it could have happened during some other
port upgrade. ICAL was working until a few days ago. 

I have another system running: FreeBSD vaio-bsd.shasta204.local
8.2-STABLE FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE #0: Sun Jun 26 14:29:59 PDT 2011
root at vaio-bsd.shasta204.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

and it too had tcl8.5 installed and ICAL not working. I decided to test
the changes below.

This did not work. The paths could not be found. I did some further
experiments:

LIB_DEPENDS=	tk84.1:${PORTSDIR}/x11-toolkits/tk84
 
GNU_CONFIGURE= yes
CONFIGURE_ARGS=	--with-tclconfig=${PREFIX}/lib/tcl8.5 \
 		--with-tclhdir=${PREFIX}/include/tcl8.5 \
 		--with-tclsh=${PREFIX}/bin/tclsh8.5 \
 		--with-tkconfig=${PREFIX}/lib/tk8.4 \
 		--with-tkhdir=${PREFIX}/include/tk8.4

Changing the tcl8.4 statements to 8.5 also failed but the make ran
further and failed :  main.C:80: warning: deprecated conversion from
string constant to 'char*'

I then deinstalled tk84 and installed tk85 and edited the Makefile to

LIB_DEPENDS=	tk85.1:${PORTSDIR}/x11-toolkits/tk84

GNU_CONFIGURE=	yes
CONFIGURE_ARGS=	--with-tclconfig=${PREFIX}/lib/tcl8.5 \
  		--with-tclhdir=${PREFIX}/include/tcl8.5 \
  		--with-tclsh=${PREFIX}/bin/tclsh8.5 \
  		--with-tkconfig=${PREFIX}/lib/tk8.5 \
 		--with-tkhdir=${PREFIX}/include/tk8.5

It still complained about the conversion at line 80 in main.C but did
build and ICAL does run. I do not understand all I know about this but
I have one system running tcl84 and tk84 and another running tcl85 and
tk85 successfully.
