How are you starting the GRASS-6.3.app?  From the path you are in  
when you fire up gis.m, it looks like you may have started it from a  
Terminal?

Does the NVIZ crashlog show the system TclTk still?  If so, NVIZ  
itself may have linked to the wrong TclTk, even though the rest of  
GRASS uses the X11 TclTk.  Try this in a new Terminal window:

otool -L /Applications/GRASS-6.3.app/Contents/Resources/etc/nviz2.2/nviz

/usr/local/tcltk/lib/libtcl8.4.dylib and /usr/local/tcltk/lib/ 
libtk8.4.dylib should be listed, not the Tcl or Tk frameworks from  
the system.
