Try mounting this tcltk8.4.uci extension,
It should have the files you need in it.

Read the .info file for proper pathing instructions before you download it.

If it's an application that requires only the tcl lib and not the tcl program, the path setting in the info file may not work. If this is the case, you can do one of two things after mounting the package:
1) set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to point to /opt/tcltk-8.4/lib
2) copy the file from /opt/tcltk-8.4/lib to someplace in your library path, such as /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib

If you choose the second option, you may no longer need tcl mounted.
