Gabor, the full universal binary disk image (.dmg) does include tcl/tk  
if the user installs R that way. The 'mini' image does not, so would  
require the user to install tcl/tk separately.

More info here:

   http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/

Supplemental tools for OSX, including tcl/tk, are available from:

   http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/tools/

One can of course also build from source code on OSX, which is what I  
do. More information on that approach is at:

and
