I had heard that there were... in fact, at one time someone on this list=20=
passed me a screenshot of Tk running on OS X. Apple recently announced=20=
(in ADC) that the Tk libraries are indeed carbonized. But I'm not=20
familiar with any package that sets it up easily for you -- perhaps if=20=
you are willing to do the legwork.
I did find this
http://www.apple.com/scitech/news/
which mentions that you can use Fink to install Tcl/Tk. But I haven't=20=
done it myself.
There's more info here

Good luck
