It's possible but it's not as easy as it should be. The real problem is
trying to build tcltklib. The current version of mkmf.rb doesn't understand
frameworks so it will decide that it can't find the tck.h and tk.h and
refuse to create a makefile. You have to copy the headers where it can find
them.

I'm working on a 'framework aware' version of mkmf.rb.
