You can get Linux binaries for Tcl and Tk from sunsite, but probably not
from the Berkeley site (ftp.cs.berkeley.edu, /ucb/tcl). Also, the sources
you get from sunsite have been patched to compile correctly out of the box
on Linux, as far as I know, which may not be true of the original sources
you might get from the Berkeley site. 

Another good place for everything having to do with Tcl or Tk is
harbor.ecn.purdue.edu, /pub/tcl.

Finally, the newest release of Softlanding Linux, SLS 1.05, will include
just about everything available from the Tcl/Tk world that's runnable on
Linux. It will also contain Tcl and Tk themselves, of course, as binary
installations. Softlanding has made a strategic decision to migrate great
gobs of stuff over to Tcl/Tk. Synergy at work, as they say.

Tcl 7.3 and Tk 3.6 are the most recent available, and that's what
tcltkgrass seems to have been developed with.
