No.

It appears you did not carefully read the build logs yourself:

    building '_tkinter' extension
    gcc -shared -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base 
build/temp.cygwin-1.5.12-i686-2.4/_tkinter.o 
build/temp.cygwin-1.5.12-i686-2.4/tkappinit.o -L/usr/X11R6/lib64 
-L/usr/X11R6/lib -L/usr/local/ASD_work/cdat/lib -L/usr/local/lib -L. -ltk8.4 
-ltcl8.4 -lpython2.4 -o build/lib.cygwin-1.5.12-i686-2.4/_tkinter.dll
    
/usr/local/ASD_work/cdat/lib/libtk8.4.a(tkWindow.o)(.text+0x1093):tkWindow.c: 
undefined reference to `_XDestroyWindow'
    ...
    collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Hence, you were unsuccessful building _tkinter.  This is why the import
above fails.

Using the pre-built Python and Tcl/Tk packages that are part of the
standard Cygwin distribution instead of attempting to build your own.
