Sylvestre has already explained the problem :

> There are some conflicts between the way the JVM and Tk are instantiated
> in Scilab.
> The JVM needs to be launched into a dedicated thread by the
> CoreFoundation (Apple API). [1] This way blocks the Tk startup. 
> We spend some time on this issue but we don't know any fix for this.
> Maybe there is... I will be happy to apply a patch for it.

Now that on OSX Scilab does not user X11 any more, the problem does
not seem so simple !
