The version of Tcl/Tk that ships with Mac OS X is not bound to X11.
It's bound to Quartz (the native Mac graphics system). The error
you're seeing is a consequence of the library trying to open a window
on the desktop of the Mac on which it's running. It would actually
succeed if the user account running the program were the same as the
user logged into the GUI (and fast-user-switched in), but this still
isn't what you want.
The Tcl/Tk Aqua Batteries-Included distribution includes a version of
Tk bound to X11, but there are limitations. See <http://
tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/>.
I hope that helps,
