There are two possibilities. The first is that, as suggested in another reply, you can use --with-tclinclude/--with-tkinclude if they're supported (or other extra-header paths if not). The second is that upstream configure should be patched to actually make use of the information provided by tclConfig.sh (most importantly in this case, TCL_LIB_SPEC [linker arguments] and TCL_SRC_DIR [path for headers]). BTW, it's Mike :). (Don't worry, with a name like this I get that a lot.)
