In general, you may modify the MAKE_ENV variable - there are lots of
examples in the ports tree; just do a
  find /usr/ports -type f -name 'Makefile*' | xargs fgrep MAKE_ENV

Take a look at e.g. the databases/postgresql-tcltk port; it uses Tcl/Tk
and even supports different versions.

In general, such a check in the configure script most probably fails
because either the compiler does not know where to find the header files
(which you can help by adding CPPFLAGS to the CONFIGURE_ENV), or the linker
does not know where to find the libraries (which you can help by adding
LDFLAGS to the CONFIGURE_ENV).  However, for the particular case of Tcl/Tk,
there are lots of ports you can shamelessly steal code from :)

G'luck,
Peter

If there were no counterfactuals, this sentence would not have been paradoxical.
