I think you need to modify the variable "auto_path".  If you execute
"puts $auto_path" in tclsh, you will see the default value, for me it is

% puts $auto_path
/usr/share/tcltk/tcl8.4 /usr/lib /usr/local/lib/tcltk /usr/local/share/tcltk /usr/lib/tcltk /usr/share/tcltk

Just add the path to the directory which contains the pkgIndex.tcl file
for VTK, e.g.

set auto_path "$auto_path /xxxxxx/lib/vtk-5.2"
