Yes. See, for example, the tcl example in kdenonbeta/dcopbindings. It allows 
you to call DCOP-exported functions. As I wrote, there are currently 
restrictions on which parameters are supported (and thus which functions can 
be called), but I plan to remove these restrictions in the future.

Please note that this is not a KDE binding in the sense that it would let you 
write KDE programs in Tcl. It let's you access functionality that KDE 
applications expose via DCOP from Tcl, Java, Perl, and Python.
