Are the different versions of tcl and tk really not backwards

No, they are not.
What a pity. So how come the various linux distributions seem to
get away with only one version of tcl and tk?
Better versioning in their package infrastructure?
Dunno what you mean by this.

Actually after doing a bit of research it appears that what I meant
in my reply is incorrect. From what I can see Linux uses a method of
branching with its tcl and tk packages similar to what FreeBSD does.
I know my sample size is small, but I'm pretty sure it's a defacto
standard if these two distros do the branch versioning that I see:
Debian (scroll almost all the way to the bottom to find the tk refs):
- http://packages.debian.org/stable/libs/
Gentoo:
- http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=tcl
