(I've been using PB to build it.) yes unfortunately it will at the moment. If you build on 10.1, your build will run on both 10.1 and 10.2, however if you build on 10.2 you'll only run on 10.2... this is due to the tcl configure process: on 10.2 it detects some routines that were added by apple since 10.1 such as strtoll, strtoull, readdir_r etc. and then no longer builds its compatibility code adding those procs. This will of course then cause runtime link errors when running that build on 10.1. I've tried building on 10.2 with the result of a 10.1 configure, but got many build time link errors... I don't think Tk is using any of the new features in 10.2, so it might be possible to compile Tcl on 10.1 and Tk on 10.2, and have both run on 10.1, but I haven't tried that.
