FWIW, I find this switcheroo:

# . can bring up an X11-based Tk if the "DISPLAY" environment var is set
# . will use the Tk Aqua shared library instead if "DISPLAY" is not set

To be less than desirable.  I understand the desire at some level, but it
might not do what users want in all cases.  We played around with something
like this and found a couple cases where users had shells that set DISPLAY in
case X11 apps were spawned, but wanted the Aqua Tk.  While you can say "do
this":
	(unset DISPLAY ; swisskit ...)
it simply defies the "intuitive" aspect in some sense, which is why we decided
to just dump X11 support (who wants that crappage? ;) ).
