These are harmless.

iconv() is only used by d.text.freetype; if you don't have iconv(),
d.text.freetype still works (assuming it was actually built, which
requires FreeType support), but it can only handle Western
(ISO-8859-1, aka ISO-Latin1) text.

gettext() is only used if you use --with-nls to get natural language
support. Currently, only Russian is supported, and only for parts of
GRASS (libgis, libraster, the PostgreSQL modules, and a couple of
other programs).

Neither of these are related to the tcltkgrass problem. Either set the
environment variable GRASS_WISH to the name of your "wish" program (it
may include the version number, e.g. "wish8.3"), or create a symlink
called "wish" pointing to the actual wish program.
