Yes. The Img extension by Jan Nijtmans is able to extract images by
index from an animated gif.

XBit (http://www.geocities.com/~chengye) can do gif image animation.
It is a Tcl extension package for image processing.

I believe the question meant as „ ...ist Tcl/Tk able to show an animated
GIF in an animated fashion?“. Using the img-library to get the individual
layers and placing the GIF-Layers all at the same location on a canvas
and raising them in a cyclic manner would do the job?
Possibly it is easier to do this with the notebook-widget (non-tab)? I
can't tell which is more timing-critical...

just some ideas ;-)

have fun!

An animated GIF image may have different timing, position, size and
color definitoin for individual layers. Ignoring the differences,
extracting each layer and showing them at the same location may work
in case of a simple animated gif. But it would not do the job in
general.

The AniGif package seems to fit what you are looking for:

Animated Gif processing in pure Tcl/Tk.

don't know if that was posted before, but there's a extension called
AniGif.
No dll, just pure tcl, and yes, I'm NOT the author :-)
