the gist of the problem is that unlike on other platforms, the OSX 
linker needs to link with the Tcl library to  make the Tk library, 
which the Tk makesystem doesn't provide for.

after the Tk build fails, copying the tk.dylib link line and manually 
adding -ltcl8.3 works, or you can turn on TCL_STUBS in Tk's 
configure.in; however, there are a few missing bits in the makesystem 
for stub support that need to be backported from 8.4 (if you're still 
interested in building 8.3.4, I can provide them.)

Cheers,

Daniel
