The long and short of it is gitk isn't parsing the version string of git that comes with Xcode correctly, and is puking on the extra details.

So to fix, you can install a git with a clean version number.

brew install git

You may need to make sure brew's version of git gets called by changing the order directories gets searched in your PATH (e.g., I had to load /usr/bin/local before /usr/bin). Alternatively, you can alias git to the absolute path installed by brew.
