no, although there is a pseudo carbon version of Tcl included in the 
development install, but all this does is link with carbonlib so that 
developers can test their tcl using carbon software on OS9. The 
pseudo carbon version of Tcl doesn't run on OSX

the standard UNIX Tcl works perfectly on OSX, and in fact apple 
includes it with the OS, so you're good to go (8.3.3 is easy to 
compile as well, let me know if you're interested in a small patch 
that makes it even easier...)

the standard Tk for X Windows runs fine on OSX if you have XFree86 
installed and can use XAqua.

A native OSX version of Tk is in the works, but will take some time 
to be finished.

Cheers,

Daniel
