Aha!  Now I see what the problem is.

Excerpt from configure output:

Excerpt from Makefile:

So this is the usual TEA_PRIVATE_TCL_HEADERS brokenness.

(Cause of the problem: by default, the TEA_PRIVATE_{TCL|TK}_HEADERS
autoconf macros only work if the Tcl/Tk source directories
are still present on the system.  The FreeBSD tcl port doesn't
keep the original sources around, and apparently doesn't take
the additional steps necessary to make TEA_PRIVATE_*_HEADERS
work.  Many distributions don't.)

It is possible to build Tile without Tk private headers, at least
on Unix.  Try the alternate build system in the "generic" subdirectory:

	cd generic;
	./configure; make ; make test
	make install

That ought to work.
