Yes, as can be seen by looking at other packages using tcltk (e.g. tcltk2 or tkrplot).
There is no simple or singular way for us to communicate such setup issues to CRAn so you could try to email the maintainer of that port here or privately.
You can find the name and address of the maintainer here https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/external_libs.html (linked from the CRAN Repository Policy, https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/policies.html) and report, but that is probably no longer necessary as Simon is reading this list as well.
