From your comment, I assume you have seen:
<http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=2025>

Just checking. :)  Obviously you have read up on all this.

I've personally only used VTK from C++, so I can't comment on your Tcl-
specific issues.

You might want to look at my most recent comment in the bug.  Adding the
Info.plist info to your flat executable may do the trick, I don't think
anyone has tried...
