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.

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).
