Just if anybody else is trying to do this. I figured it out and it works
with the following command:

./configure --prefix=NEW_PREFIX --with-tclpackage=NEW_TCLPATH

NEW_PREFIX must be different then /opt/local (if you used the default
install) and NEW_TCLPATH must differ from /Library/Tcl.

Also be sure to use $PATH without /opt/local/bin (default install) or
./configure will fail. I think the best is the default path:

PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

Hope this helps,
Simon
