Here is one way as a separate port.
It has a run dep on the Tcl 8 version.
The Tcl 8 version supplies all the files and here only the .so.
This has the upside of leaving the current sqlite3-tcl port untouched, but
a downside that this is a copy of another port, with minor changes - a
future maintenance headache, and all for just one file.
$ cd /usr/ports/databases && cp -a sqlite3-tcl sqlite3-tcl9
Then apply the patch, build, test, etc.
