So, it has stayed with the -framework flags?  Odd.  I just configured  
with a clean trunk and got the usual -ltcl -ltk.

Indeed, GRASS defaults to 'wish'.  TclTk built from source, and the  
ActiveTcl, install as 'wish8.4' or 'wish8.5'.  This was one reason for  
my old TCLTKVERSION, so it could be set in the OSX app startup.
