nothing in 'macosx' depends on 'mac', just verified this by building 
tcl&tk from scratch with the mac directories deleted. So the whole of 
tcl/mac and tk/mac can be obsoleted in CVS.

The next thing to do is removing any occurrences of TCL_MAC, #ifdef 
TCL_MAC et al from the other directories.
I did a fairly thorough run through the sources (the regexp 
"(?i)(?<!e)mac(?![_ ]?os ?x|ro|hin|kerras|edonia)" is helpful...), the 
resulting patches are here:
	http://rutherglen.ics.mq.edu.au/~steffen/tcltk/tcl-nomac.diff
	http://rutherglen.ics.mq.edu.au/~steffen/tcltk/tk-nomac.diff

note that I have purposefully left the glob mac types/creators support 
in (it's an open bug that this does not work on OSX).

with these patches applied and the mac directory removed, the tcl&tk 
unix/x11 and aqua builds compile and run fine and the unix/x11 tests 
are unaffected. I have not tested the windows build.

Cheers,

Daniel
