Comment(by dweber@…):

 In my vtk-devel installation, with +examples (and the kitchen sink), there
 is an example at
 {{{
 /opt/local/share/vtk/examples/GUI/Tcl/SphereWidget.tcl
 }}}

 Perhaps you can try this?
 {{{
 $ tclsh
 % source /opt/local/share/vtk/examples/GUI/Tcl/SphereWidget.tcl
 }}}

 This fails to run for me because there is a faulty mysql5 dependency in
 the dylib links, which was upgraded under-the-hood from v15 to v16, i.e.
 {{{
 /opt/local/lib/mysql5/mysql/libmysqlclient.16.dylib
 }}}

 In the Portfile, there is a library dependency on mysql5 for the +mysql
 variant, i.e.
 {{{
 variant mysql5 description "build the MySQL driver for vtkSQLDatabase" {
     depends_lib-append \
         path:bin/mysql_config5:mysql5 \
         ...
 }}}

 However, when mysql5 was upgraded (and I usually do {{{port upgrade -uR
 mysql5}}}), it did not rebuild the vtk-devel port.  Oh well.

 I hope this helps,
 Darren
