The docs at least list the modules, but without showing their contents:
http://docs.python.org/3.0/library/tkinter.html#tkinter-modules

To see what is in each package, one option is to start up a pydoc
server on your local machine, that gives a convenient way to browse
the modules. On Windows, for Python 2.5 at least, there is a Start
menu shortcut for this - Start / All Programs / Python 2.5 / Module
Docs.

You can also browse the source code in Python3.0\Lib\tkinter\
