Work on a Tk/Aqua port is underway, if I interpret the comments on on
the mactcl mailing list correctly, but I haven't seen any timeline
yet.

But there's another option: if I read the announcement of the new
xfree86 for OSX correctly it now supports rootless usage (previously
the free X11 implementation had all the X windows within another
window, like Virtual PC, and if you wanted X windows as first class
citizens you needed a commercial X server), so if you really want
Tkinter this may be a solution.
