I used this link to download a tarball, and then I got the most recent  
cmake:
<http://www.cmake.org/files/v1.8/cmake-1.8.3-osx.dmg>

And I did the following:

   tar xzvf cvs_root.tar.gz
   cd VTK
   ccmake .

And I set up things like this:

  BUILD_EXAMPLES                   ON
  BUILD_SHARED_LIBS                OFF
  CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY    1.8
  CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
  CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX             /usr/local
  PNG_PNG_INCLUDE_DIR              PNG_PNG_INCLUDE_DIR-NOTFOUND
  TCL_INCLUDE_PATH                  
/Library/Frameworks/Tcl.framework/Versions/8.4/Headers
  TCL_LIBRARY                      -framework Tcl
  TK_INCLUDE_PATH                   
/Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Versions/8.4/Headers
  TK_INTERNAL_PATH                  
/Users/gk/vtk/VTK/Rendering/tkInternals/tk84OSX
  TK_LIBRARY                       -framework Tk
  VTK_DATA_ROOT                    VTK_DATA_ROOT-NOTFOUND
  VTK_USE_CARBON                   OFF
  VTK_USE_COCOA                    ON
  VTK_USE_HYBRID                   OFF
  VTK_USE_PARALLEL                 OFF
  VTK_USE_PATENTED                 OFF
  VTK_USE_RENDERING                ON
  VTK_USE_X                        OFF
  VTK_WRAP_JAVA                    OFF
  VTK_WRAP_PYTHON                  OFF
  VTK_WRAP_TCL                     ON

and typed "c" twice, then "g", then:

   make

and after awhile, I get

Please advice on where to go from here.

Thanks very much,
