4D Printing is currently being developed to manufacture programmable and self assembling material. Skylar Tibbits claims that 4D printing can be utilized in developing and sending pre-programmed and unmanned self building space stations.

Imagine a cult decides to move to Antarctica

They try to sell remote services like computer programming in order to earn money. (Or is there anything else they could sell?)

Is this even possible? I mean could they even earn enough money, if they were spending all of their income on just maintaining their settlement, to pay for electricity generation, heating their buildings, growing food in greenhouses, importing whatever food they could not grow, and so forth? I would like to look into this question.

The Antarctic Treaty might be a barrier, but the first question is to see whether this is economically feasible. If it's not feasible, then the real barrier is economics.

How can we incentivize colonizing Antarctica?

I was thinking we could say anything that happens in Antarctica would incur no taxes, but you can already go to the Bahamas and avoid most taxes on up to $100K in income. So I don't think paying no taxes, by itself, would be enough to get anyone to move to Antarctica. Maybe we could also pass a law that says the government will cover at least part of the cost of shipping supplies there.
