 under /usr/local), and I'm aware that this probably means to recompile R with 
 the proper configuration variables.

 But...is it by any chance possible to just recompile the bit affected by 
 Tcl/Tk, like, for instance, to install tcltk with some environment variable 
 pointing at the right ActiveTcl library?

   
Maybe, but I don't think it is worth the trouble compared to a full 
rebuild. There are obstacles, e.g. that the Makefile in the packages is 
created from Makefile.in by the toplevel configure script. I.e., better 
waste some computer resources than your own.

 Many thanks for your suggestions and help.
