It's subjective as to whether or not Tcl/Tk is a "requirement"; most
of GRASS will work without it. OTOH, the same can be said of lesstif
(only xganim uses it), but that is listed as a requirement.

I'd suggest modifying setup.ini to include the tcltk-grass package as
a requirement. Although, the tcltk-grass package doesn't list its
requirements (xorg-x11-base should definitely be in there).
