Since tclunit was just announced I was wondering what resources there
are for someone wanting to get up to speed on testing with Tcl?

tclunit is just a GUI for tcltest. Tcl has a long tradition of testing
(and is used for such e.g. in DejaGnu).
But apart of highly-engineered testing frameworks, I often like the
simplicity of
proc e.g. {cmd -> expected} {
catch {uplevel 1 $cmd} res
if {$res ne $expected} {
puts "$cmd -> $res, expected $expected"
}
}
e.g. {expr 6*7} -> 42
(and is used for such e.g. in DejaGnu).

That's a rather amusing little testing harness. Testing doesn't get much
simpler than that.

I like underengineering - "do the simplest thing that might possibly
work" ...

This definitely breaks the long-standing rule of "Why make anything
simple when it can be made wonderful and complex?"

Because it isn't Perl.
