Ugh; I really think Tcl/Tk should be a separate package.

If there are Tcl/Tk packages available from third parties, I think
that you should just point people to one of them. If there aren't,
then provide one, and we can put it on the GRASS site (we already
provide a Tcl/Tk package for Cygwin, as Cygwin's version is broken).
