Unfortunately Tix isn't included ActiveTcl on Mac OS X. Jeff Hobbs, Tcl 
dude here at ActiveState, spent a little time on getting Tix building on 
OS X.

OK). 

Jeff recommended other widgets that are available in ActiveTcl over what 
Tix provides and invited you to ask on news:comp.lang.tcl or the 
ActiveTcl list as to good alternatives to what he is using (specifying 
use of Tkinter).

Hope that helps,
