Apple's Tcl package switched over to Cocoa in OS X 10.6.  Likewise,
VTK switched its vtkTkRenderWidget over to Cocoa in VTK 5.6.  I know,
because I was the one who made the changes.

Most likely, Frank is either using the OS X 10.5 SDK, or is using the
Tk 8.4 framework.  On Snow Leopard, the Tk 8.5 framework should be
used, and VTK_USE_COCOA should be On.
