That would be something from TclTk, which is not working for 64bits on OS X.  Odd, configure should disable 64bit for NVIZ compilation.  There is a var you can check, in include/make/platform.make:

MACOSX_ARCHS_TCLTK

It should have only --arch i386.

Note: enable-64bit does nothing for OS X.  64bit compilation is handled with the macosx-archs option.  (it shouldn't be affecting your problem, just FYI)

FYI: the system wxpython is getting a bit old for some things in new GRASS gui. (python itself is OK)

Which version of TclTk did you install?  I think 8.5 is optimal.

Also, there's a bit of a hack needed so the system tcltk doesn't interfere, see the macosx/readme.rtf in the GRASS source for details.  Then add --with-tcltk-libs=/usr/local/lib to your configure.
