Besides the fact that the port's version of paraview (2.2.4) is quite outdated (paraview is actually version 3.6.1(!) paraview does not work properly and results in the following error:

ParaView error: InitializeTcl failed

This probably means that tk wasn't installed properly.

Install out of date paraview from ports and try using it.
