Hi,
on my Gentoo system, the inkscape ebuild requires the existence of skencil in case of postscript support.
Unfortunately, I cannot build skencil anymore after switching to Tcl/Tk-8.5.3
Does Inkscape (SVN) really need skencil for anything (like export to postscript)?
Many thanks for a hint,

Inkscape has never required the existence of Skencil, it will use it if it is there. It's a soft dependency instead of a hard one.

SVN no longer uses Skencil, it uses the Poppler based PDF import to import postscript by combining with ps2pdf from the Ghostscript package.
