Comment(by pkrohn@…):

 This situation does not exist on all hosts; I was able to build tk on
 another 10.6 system.

 The problem seems to be that on some systems, the include path for X11
 libraries is not correctly calculated. I was able to get tk to build with
 minor manual changes to the Makefile, but this fix is not suitable for a
 patch because it really just fixes the symptoms of the problem. In any
 case, here is what I did, under
 /opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_x11_tk/work/tk8.5.7/unix:

 * copy Makefile to Makefile.auto[[BR]]

 * set the include path to /opt/local/include (my X11 includes live under
 there)[[BR]]

 * run this diff:

 {{{

 }}}

 Hope this helps!
