I usually recommend installing from a package management system and 
not manually installing. You can use MacPorts or Homebrew for OS X 
and they will take care of selecting an appropriate Tcl version.

This (MacPorts) may require you to install some developer tools 
like XCode but the process is *very* simple. I am personally unfamiliar
with Homebrew so I am not sure of their requirements.
