Duh. Don't you hate doing computer support when you can' t stand behind
people and watch they are doing.
I finally managed to reproduce your problem. The answer is very simple:
You have to run the X11 GUI apps from an X11 terminal. You could probably
make them run from an Aqua terminal, but you will need to set up more
environment variables. Compare printenv in an Xterm with the output of
the same command in the MacOS X Terminal. Tk is grokking because it can't
find the X11 libraries!

Thanks - I've tried installing on a completely clean 10.2 on a
different machine (powerbook G3 instead of a pbG4) in case I had
rogue installs left around, amd fixing the path - but the results are
the same! The non-graphic swarm apps run happily, heatbugs etc all
give:
[Jonathan-Impetts-Computer:~/swarmapps-2.1.1/heatbugs] jonathan%
./heatbugs
error: TkExtra (instance)
Abort
I guess I'm doing something wrong in the tk installation,
therefore. The packages all appear in (and only in) /Receipts. The
sequence was as follows:
OS X Developer, X11, X11SDK (all from Apple)
BLT, gcc, gsed, tclX, tkX, hdf5, libpng, swarmx (latest) (all from
swarmx)
download & unzip swarmapps2.1.1
setenvs as described in ReadMe
make heatbugs (complains only about missing dir /billn and multiply
defined _tclStubsPtr, _tclPlatStubsPtr, _tclIntPlatStubsPtr,
_tclIntStubsPtr, _TclInitStubs)
