Welcome back ;-)

starkit is the name of a tcl app package done with sdx. You need a
tclkit for your platform to run a starkit
starpack is a starkit with a tclkit attached to it. You don't need any
additional app for starting a starpack but it is no longer platform
independent.

The current pointer from the sdx wiki page http://wiki.tcl.tk/3411
points to the right download location
  http://www.equi4.com/pub/sk/sdx.kit

This looks very strange.

Try to use any recent version of tclkit from the download matrix at
  http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/downloads.html
and the sdx.kit from above and the use exactly this new apps like this

  ./tclkit sdx.kit qwrap.hello.c

If this works, just install both apps in a place appropriate for you.

You have to download the current version of genkit from
  http://www.equi4.com/pub/tk/tars/genkit
but the now recommended way for building a tclkit is via
  http://www.equi4.com/kitgen.html

I hope this helps
