There is likely something wrong with your R installation. tcltk is a recommended package and normally comes bundled with R. You should not have to install it separately.
Try reinstalling R. Alternately, try the older version of gsubfn at: http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/gsubfn/gsubfn_0.3-8.tar.gz It does not use tcltk at all.
