This is how I did for Tcl. I will commit the final version of the VTK Tcl 
packages within the week. You might have a look at the vtkrendering package 
(which might be loaded separately). This is the only place where Tk will be 
"included" (required). Thus, if you do not use vtkrendering, Tk won't be 
loaded at all.
