All right, let's start from the beginning.
Go to the command prompt
cd to your VTK bin directory, where all your DLL should be, including 
vtkLocalTCL.dll
run either vtk.exe, or wish.exe
issue:
package require vtk

does it work ?
now try to load your DLL manually.

load vtkLocalTCL.dll

does it work ?

try to load it again

::vtk::load_component: vtkLocalTCL

does it work ?
