Nobody is working on that feature. I think someone got it working
with some local hacks once, but it has never been a supported feature.

Nope. It is unlikely that will change anytime soon unless someone
wants to do it themselves. Note that there has been some work
on Swank, which is a set of Tk bindings for Swing widgets. That
is not really what you are looking for, but it is still cool.
