I suppose that the configure needs the auto tools because it senses that 
you have different autotools than I do and it tries to redo to fix up?

I should just stick to giving answers I'm sure about.  Here' s one.

you must use autoconf-2.52 with Swarm.

automake-1.6.3 works for me, I don't think the newer will work.

In my experience, tcltk 8.4 does not work. 8.3 does.

The 8.4 problems may have been worked out by somebody else, but in my 
testing they were discouraging.
