Really?  You are running VTK/Tcl/Tk programs (*not* compiled, just  
interpreting a .tcl file), and you are able to properly interact with  
the windows?  Exactly what program are you invoking to run the VTK .tcl  
file?

I'm aware of the tutorial to which you refer.  When I tried following  
it, I encountered numerous compilation problems.  If you look at the  
messages that people have posted in response to this article:

<http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a//mac/2002/06/28/ 
data_visualization.html?page=last#thread>

you will see those various problems documented.  Specifically, there is  
the issue of the "vtk" binary NOT being a proper macintosh application.

How did you address this problem?
