[R-SIG-Mac] tcltk

[Prof Brian Ripley]

See the FAQ sections 8 and 2.1.4, e.g.

X11 window system is necessary to use the X11 device in R and other 
devices that rely on X11.
...
Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) and 10.4 (Tiger) include X11 on the 
installation CD/DVD, however, it is not selected by default. If it is 
not installed, you can re-install it using the original installation 
CD/DVD. 
...

The error message indicates that your machine either does not have X11 
installed or it is not installed properly.
