Tk is a GUI library used for writing applications that need a local display (though remote X connections are available through X11 forwarding, as you have heard). It sounds as if you've written a program to be executed from a web server, which will output data to be displayed in a web browser.

In other words, I could rephrase your question as "I have a Perl CGI program on my web server that launches a web browser on the server. I cannot see that web browser running in my web browser on my client." The answer to that is, "That's true. It doesn't work that way."

Does that make sense?
