Comment(by dweber@…):

 There should be a revision 5 available soon for vtk-devel.  This revision
 has more explicit control over the tcl/tk build options.  The fix switches
 off VTK_USE_TK by default.  So this build failure is fixed in that
 revision, where this works for me:

 {{{
 sudo port build vtk-devel +x11 +py25
 }}}

 Note that -cocoa is not required here, because the cocoa variant is
 automatically switched off whenever an +x11 or a +carbon variant are
 specified.  All of those variants conflict, so it's not possible to
 specify any combination of +cocoa +x11 +carbon.

 If you need any of the tcl/tk system, you might try:

 {{{
 sudo port install vtk-devel +x11 +py25 +tcl
 # OR
 sudo port install vtk-devel +x11 +py25 +tcl_apple
 }}}

 This has not been tested yet, but it might resolve this problem.  In the
 prior revision, the automatic dependency resolution system in cmake was
 using Apple framework libs for some things (like includes), but a macports
 tcl lib for the linking.  If that inconsistency is resolved by using the
 explicit tcl variants, we might expect the entire build to work with one
 of the +tcl variants above.
