Cc'ing the maintainer.

I'm showing the following:

Fiona:Downloads hansen$ dpkg -S init.tcl
tcltk: /sw/lib/tcl8.6/init.tcl

Fiona:Downloads hansen$ fink show-deps xcrysden
Information about 10123 packages read in 0 seconds.

Package: xcrysden (1.5.53-2)
To install the compiled package...
   The following other packages (and their dependencies) must be installed:
     fftw3-shlibs
     gcc48-shlibs
     mesa-shlibs
     meschach-shlibs
     tcltk-shlibs
     x11-shlibs
...

It looks like the xcrysden package needs the tcltk package to be 
installed at run time and not just at build time.  Under the assumption 
that you installed via binaries (as is the default now for 10.9 and 
current fink), try "fink install tcltk".
