The thing is the triplet 

RTcl_setupProc
RTcl_eventProc
RTcl_checkProc

and subsequently

Tcl_CreateEventSource(RTcl_setupProc, RTcl_checkProc, 0);

in .../tcltk/src/tcltk.c

They currently call R_checkActivity, which on X11 returns a set of
file descriptors and then R_runHandlers(R_InputHandlers, readMask). If
aqua events also need to be checked and handled then you need to weave
that into the above routines, or set up a separate event source for
it.
