NetBSD does have tcl/tk in the pkacages collection
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/netbsd/packages.html
though install media may be a little tight (plus swap may not
be available).
Most porrts are looking towards sysinst, booted in a kernel with
built in ramdisk, or miniroot.
If you have a PC around you should try booting a NetBSD 1.3.2
boot floppy to see the interface (you can easily bail before it
actually starts doing anything :)
NetBSD support iso9660 with rockridge extensions - if the hardware
can boot a CD you should be able to put the boot program in
the appropriate place then make it load everything else from the
rest of the CD in '9660 format
