I'm scripting in tcl and if emacs font lock doesn't recognize the
first word of a line as a tcl reserved word, I'd like it to highlight
it as something else since it is ~98% of the time a user-defined proc
name that I wrote. Thanks for the help in advance!

You can use M-x highlight-regexp
Regexp to highlight: ^\(\w+\)

Try something like:
(add-hook 'tcl-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(font-lock-add-keywords
nil '(("^[^ \t\n]+" . font-lock-keyword-face)))))
