The MIT license definitely is: see
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html under "X11 license".

The Tcl/Tk license is not particularly mentioned on that page, but it is
surely compatible, since it demands nothing that the GPL does not also
demand.

Anyhow, isn't Tcl/Tk under the new BSD license?  SourceForge seems
to think so.
