For 8.5 it apparently mostly works, if it is just a few little issues

i.e. we should at least look into 8.5 problems, it is probably just
1-5
lines of code to be adjusted, and that's not a huge drain on
development resources.
You are right that fixing issues is probably pretty simple. It's
figuring out what to fix that is time consuming. Right now, I'm
heavily overcommitted timewise. And on top of that, I'm using my
laptop (primary development box) for my GIS class and can't afford
to have GRASS broken for more than a couple days. So I have no
problem in theory, fixing the GUI for 8.5 if it doesn't involve NVIZ
internals or something like that, but won't have time to do much for
awhile.

Some initial tests for TclTk 8.5.1 on OSX.
10.4/Tiger: the GUI runs and seems to work properly. NVIZ won't run -
with Spearfish:
"
nviz elev=elevation.10m
alloc: invalid block: 0x5202b4: 61 0 0
[2]+ Abort trap
"
Even just "nviz --help" gives that alloc error.
10.5/Leopard: won't run at all. There appears to be some problem
between Leopard's fontconfig/freetype and TclTk 8.5 (TclTk 8.4 works).

(This is 32bit mode. In 64bit mode it made it into freetype before
crashing.)
Unfortunately, I think tcltk/X11 on OSX is forced to used the X11
freetype/fontconfig build, instead of the one I configure for GRASS
(my freetype framework).

Theory of the Universe
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly
what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly
disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely
inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has
already happened.
