I've run into a similar issue with the X11 headers in trying to install 
a Tk extension (not Tk itself, it can find its own headers)--perhaps 
that is what Lloyd is seeing. I also fixed the issue by installing 
XQuartz and adding it to my path so that it found the headers. I have no 
idea why this problem arises, but I think it makes sense as a best 
practice to install XQuartz when building Tk extensions.
