This one, mentioned earlier, won't do what you need?

quote:
Using the ICE Tcl Compiler, you can take advantage of all of these 
[tk/tcl] features, and also obtain significantly higher performance, the 
ability to distribute your Tcl/Tk-based applications as compiled code 
rather than in source form, and the convenience of having the most 
popular extensions already integrated and compiled on a variety of 
platforms.

The compiler translates Tcl code into C code, which can then be compiled 
together with a special Tcl library to produce a single executable. 
Alternatively, on most systems it can be compiled into a dynamically 
loadable module, which can be loaded and run directly by our custom 
interpreter.
