See http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform.swt/msg01243.html for
a good discussion of the issue.  From the message:

> I've used a few applications where tab items were disabled. The text/image
> in the tab is greyed out and selection is disabled. You may wish to do
this
> to illustrate that functionality is available but that for some reason you
> can't access it because, for example, it's not applicable given current
> settings, or you're using a crippled version of the application.
>
> Neither TabItem nor CTabItem support a disabled L&F. In the case of
> TabItem this may be because it's not supported across all platforms.
> In the case of CTabItem it should be possible. BTW, CTabItem has a
> property named "disabledImage", accessed via getDisabledImage and
> setDisabledImage. This is very badly named, since it actually
> describes the image displayed when the tab is not selected.
