I just checked, nothing of the sort is necessary, just get 
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/vtcl/vtcl-1.5.2.tar.gz
unpack, drag 'vtclmac' onto 'Drag & Drop Tclets' and save as e.g.
'vtcl' into the same folder and you're done.

vtcl works beautifully on the mac, including the incrtk and tktable
support btw

Cheers,
