there is no way to get automatic tooltip. there is a static variable in GUI class called tooltip. you can set it in calls to functions like GUI.Button() in second argument then you should show the tooltip in a Label or in any other way

this is the sample from unity's documentation in GUI.toolTip page

function OnGUI () {
// Make a button using a custom GUIContent parameter to pass in the tooltip.
GUI.Button (Rect (10,10,100,20), GUIContent ("Click me", "This is the tooltip"));

// Display the tooltip from the element that has mouseover or keyboard focus
GUI.Label (Rect (10,40,100,40), GUI.tooltip);
}

there are other examples in the page take a look at http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/ScriptReference/GUI-tooltip.html
