Need TK Framework

Description
I have Tk 8.5.5 installed. I am trying to run an application (GRASS) and the new version (6.4 is the development version that will be released soon) requires the "Aqua framework" Tk. I tried rebuilding Tk with +quartz. But the binary application that I am trying to use (one piece of GRASS) is not finding the correct libraries, because it is looking for frameworks. The person who does the binaries suggested that I install the ActiveTcl distribution, but that seems silly, given that I already have the MacPorts TclTk installed. So, I am wondering if there is any way to make this installation work? Is there something that can be done with Tk to have it also build frameworks? There is a "--enable-frameworks" flag as part of TclTk. Is it possible to make a "framework variant" of Tk?

Sorry this ticket has been open for so long.
I just started maintaining Tcl/Tk.
Maintaining two fundamentally different instantiation methods has proven to be a necessary evil (e.g., tk and gtk3 with conflicting +quartz and +x11 variants).
We should not add another unless absolutely necessary.
As far as I can tell, grass seems to be working (in the past ten years, a fix must have been found).
Assigning to maintainer.
