The usual practice is to install the library to a subdir of /usr/lib
(/usr/lib/Tclcsound for example). A proper Tcl package also provides
file pkgIndex.tcl which is put to the same subdir of /usr/lib and
contains an instruction how to load the library.

If csound doesn't provide pkgIndex.tcl (I've quickly found
http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/tclcsound.html. Is this your case?)
you could write your own with something like the following:

package ifneeded Tclcsound 1.0 \
    [list load [file join $dir tclcsound.so] Tclcsound]

(I assumed that link I've found is correct. And I've no idea about
actual version number.)
