When you say "installed Aqua/Tk", do you mean this? http://tcltkaqua.sourceforge.net/ If there are good reasons to do install this package (isn't it kinda old?), then we have a known issue that could be written up on the Wiki. Also, there is a problem with MacPorts Tk +aqua variant. http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/8730 Is using MacPorts Tk +aqua a good idea? If a small blurb could be constructed to generalize whats going on with Tk and aqua in general for MacPorts users, I'd put it on the Wiki.
