NVIZ (and v.digit) are binary Tk programs, and thus use standard  
library linking to the Tcl and Tk libraries (frameworks).

The configure flag for creating both Tcl and Tk frameworks is --enable- 
framework.  In Tk, this implies --enable-aqua.  --enable-aqua by  
itself presumably only does that, as you found.  This fits with the  
Macports style - it doesn't do frameworks, everything is *nix  
libraries (OK, that's just a guess).

I would be possible to use DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to force it to find a  
different binary, but the framework binary is too differently named  
for this to work.  You really need to install TclTk frameworks outside  
the Macports system, either ActiveTcl binaries or compiled from source  
without Macports.
