... unless they built the binary with tcltk at /usr/local/lib...  I  
installed R commander (wow, lots of stuff installed!) and I see in the  
tcltk2 module that it's linked to /usr/local/lib/libtcl8.5.dylib.

hmmm... As an alternative for GRASS, so it can find and link tcltk  
aqua and not interfere with your X11 tcltk, you could set up a  
separate folder with the symlinks to the framework:

/usr/local/tcltkaqua/lib/libtcl8.5.dylib -> tcl framework
/usr/local/tcltkaqua/lib/libtk8.5.dylib -> tk framework

configure GRASS with: --with-tcltk-includes="/Library/Frameworks/ 
Tcl.framework/Headers /Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/Headers / 
Library/Frameworks/Tk.framework/PrivateHeaders" --with-tcltk-libs=/usr/ 
local/tcltkaqua/lib

Then there's no need to mess with Platform.make.

Then see if the errors in libform continue.
