Least convoluted way I can see to do this is make a user-knob and put
the random expression in there

set cut_paste_input [stack 0]
version 6.3 v5
push $cut_paste_input
Text {
 message "\[value randval]"
 font /usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera/Vera.ttf
 yjustify center
 box {512 389 1536 1167}
 center {1024 778}
 name Text1
 selected true
 xpos 162
 ypos -298
 addUserKnob {20 User}
 addUserKnob {7 randval R 180 181.1}
 randval {{"180 + (random(frame) * (181.1-180))"}}
}

..otherwise doing it only [ ] in the Text value seems strangely difficult
