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:
