I don't know how to do that directly with tk, but I'd use the SetWindowPos  
function: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms632673(VS.85).aspx
The tricky part is to get the right hwnd, this seems to work:

>>> root = Tkinter.Tk()
>>> hwnd = int(root.wm_frame(),0)
>>> win32gui.SetWindowPos(hwnd,
...   win32con.HWND_TOPMOST,
...   0,0,0,0,
...   win32con.SWP_NOMOVE | win32con.SWP_NOSIZE)
