I will remember this suggestion for the next version. Thank you.

Oh, I'm currently only have 8.5.11 checked. 8.5.12 will be in the
next release (after my vacation). And I will add nsf and may be even 8.6 ;)
There is always something to change with new versions. So you
have the first thing resolved.
BTW. if you only want to build nsf and it depends only on tcl/tk you
could try:
 ./kbs.tcl install tcl8.5 tk8.5 nsf2.0

Was it your second attempt? If there is an error in the Configure
script you should remove the build*/<package> dir and then start
again. Because configure can take some time the Configure script
will only be called if the build*/<package> dir doesn't exists.

So try to remove the dir and start again. You should have a copy
of the zlib1.2.3/* files insisde the build*/<package> dir. The
line in kbs.tcl Package zlib1.2.3-static, Configure script is:
  eval file copy [glob [Get srcdir]/*] .
