I don't have tcltk to test, but can you try adding this line to the build: $(use_enable tcltk tcltk-framework) \ to line 86, just below the "ipv6" line.
It does not work.
The tk library is part of the stdlib, so I'm not quite sure if it's possible to disable it without stripping the core. I've just read the configure.in file and there's no such option `tcltk'. The tcltk flag just pulls the dependencies, and doesn't affect any ./configure option. I sugguest removing the flag since it's a must. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I don't have the source in front of me, but if you look deeper in some subdirectory there does seem to be an option for enabling/disabling tcl/tk. I'm not sure if it's being picked up or not though.
The `tk' module resides in the ext/ directory of the ruby source code. There's a `Setup' file, which I tought was used for enabling/disabling extension, but unfortunately it's for linking statically the extensions specified there. I can't think of another solution besides removing the whole ext/tk directory, which worked for me.

So we should get a patch accepted upstream to be able to explicitly disable tk/tcl usage.
I don't think upstream will accept such a patch. Allowing explicitly enabling/disabling an ext module means they will have to add lots of option. Look another way, why ext/tk has its own use flag while others (curses,iconv,gdbm,syslog,zlib...) don't?
According to ruby-talk:183494 $(use_with tk) should work. I've added it to dev-lang/ruby-1.8.6-r1 and tested it. If anyone wants it added to an earlier ebuild please let me know.
