TkMan 2.1b3 (beta) can be found on ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/people/phelps/
tcltk/tkman.tar.Z, for example.
You also need the latest PolyglotMan (ne RosettaMan), a manual page filter:
ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/ucb/people/phelps/tcltk/rman.tar.Z
(TkMan runs on Tcl/Tk 8.1 and 8.2, available at http://www.scriptics.com/)
