Tcl/Tk/TclX are all pretty straight forward to get working on FreeBSD 2.0.
I believe they are in the ports directory on ftp.freebsd.org. 

The only major problem is the msun math library that is shipped as libm on
FreeBSD 2.0.  Math library errors generate SIGFPE rather than calling matherr
or returning NaN.  This causes the test to core dump.  I grabbed the libm
source from the FreeBSD source dist and used it rather than msun to get
around these problems.

Please feel free to contact me directly if you (or anyone else) has problems
with Tcl on FreeBSD.

Mark
