    GSK> I tried (and eventually succeeded) updating TeXLive on my

    GSK> Macports (v5.8.9).

The problem is that the default Perl build in MacPorts doesn't
include shared libraries, but Tk needs them; you can build them by
adding the +shared variant to your build line.  See
http://trac.macports.org/ticket/18391 for details.
