yes (and mostly).
If you build/run an X11 based Tk is is identical to any other
*nix Tk - (and apple gives you the X11 server that runs on OSX)
There is also a native Aqua (the GUI part of OSX) port of Tk which
is very nearly as good. There has been a lot of hard work on it and
it shows, it looks & runs well. There are still a few rough edges
in a couple of spots, but I still use it.
check out the tcl-mac mailing list for more info/details
And above & beyond Tk I would definitely recommend making the switch.

And I believe with the Tile project, Tk looks very good under OS X:

Switch has been made (or puchased). Now the sweaty nervous wait!
BTW, what version of Tcl is installed by default on OSX?

I don't remember. I use Daniel's AuqaBI distro which is pretty current
and has a ton of extensions alrady built in.

Doesn't much matter. Google TclTkAqua, and download the
batteries-included distribution. It's 8.4.7.
