There are two toolkits that connect to Tcl and Tk:  Rapid and VAD.  
I think that Tk uses 'native' look and feel, whatever that means.
Rapid includes only a small set of widgets, but it is very easy 
to get going with.  Another alternative is to use the Ada Web Server 
or cgi to produce HTML as the GUI, so that presentation is through 
the 'native' browser.
