This really only applies to developers and users that compile GRASS. I already bundle TclTk with my GRASS packages for those users that just download and intall the binaries.
Anyways, I added a TclTk 8.5.8 installer to my site for those that need it. Just a quick standard Aqua framework build, it'll overwrite ActiveTcl, and it takes care of the lib symlinks mentioned in the GRASS Mac readme.
