It could still be that tk requires some client libraries that are
missing, that xterm doesn't use. xterm is a much older and cruftier
program. Does Gnome work? For that matter, does Idle work (it is
a tkinter client)?
I remember that a guy I used to work with ported tk to an embedded linux
box with a working X server and display, but still had a rather rough
time getting tk running. All I can suggest is curling up with gdb for a
while.
This has a few diagnostic suggestions that seem worth a try:

Next thing after that is probably curl up with gdb for a while.
