To make a starpack executable, a tclkit executable has the contents of
another vfs merged into the tclkit's vfs. There is nothing to stop you
doing this manually. Roughly, from a source tclkit exe which contains
a raw tclkit.exe in its own vfs:
 file copy tclkit.exe [set exe [file join $env(TEMP) xyzzy.exe]] ;#
copy the exe out to the native filesystem
 vfs::mk4::Mount $exe /mnt
 <copy files and create new ones in /mnt>
 vfs::umount /mnt

If you use the standard technique to make a simple starpack and
compare the unwrapped tree from before and after you can see how the
merge goes and replicate it quite simply.
