Yes, as part of the test_vtk.py module from mayavi. This runs correctly 
with the vtk-py23 package from Fink. The syntax in test_vtk.py is 
somewhat different, see
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/mayavi/mayavi/doc/test_vtk.py

   import vtk
   from vtk.tk.vtkTkRenderWidget import vtkTkRenderWidget
   import Tkinter
   t = Tkinter.Toplevel()
   pane = vtkTkRenderWidget(t,width=300,height=300)
