Here was Tony's response to my problem:
I believe you are using latest snapshot from Tcl.sf.net, 8.4a4 - thats=20=
pretty old at this point. Either find some X11 headers or compile from=20=
Tk 8.4.0 source using these commands (I am just copying from a post in=20=
the tcl-mac@lists.sourceforge.net mailing list - it worked great for me=20=
but YMMV, ask there if you have troubles).

I'm trying this now. I will let you know how it goes.
Thanks.

Hey! I'm trying to do the exact same thing with the same setup.
<excerpt>When I run 'make' it barfs on the
followign error:

Sorry to hear that. I had no problem with that at all. Where did you
get Python from? Was it CVS or the latest tar file? I used the tar
file.
The problem I ran into was from step 5, where Tony recommeded adding
"-I/usr/X11R6/include/". I ended up emailing Tony and asked him if
that was really necessary because I don't want to install X11. I also
just tried removing that line and I found it would all compile, but
Tkinter and Tk didn't play well together. It produced all kinds of
errors.
I received Tony's response later that I should use Tk 8.4.0 (the final
release?) rather than 8.4a4 (the alpha/beta?). The problem is, it is
only available as source. I'm having trouble figuring out how to
build and install it using Project Builder. Apparently it has to be
built that way, because just using make didn't work. Tony has AquaTk
available as part of a 41 MB IDLE_snapshot, but that's too big for me
to download over my slow-ish cable/AirPort connection.
I've emailed Tony again this morning to see if he knows of any
instructions to guide me through building AquaTk with Project Builder.
