You can also port them to JRuby if that makes you feel better ;-)

But seriously while TCL has its merits it is aging and TCL developers
are getting fewer and further apart making maintenance of TCL
wrappings more of a burden.

Obviously, you and other people whith large TCL code base can work on
the TCL wrappings instead of porting the code. I have no idea how much
the TCL C interface differs from the one of the already supported
languages and how much work this would be.

Thanks
