pgaccess does require libpgtcl.so and therefore you must use --with-tcl

You probably need to use --with-tclconfig and --with-tkconfig

              configure \
                ...
                --with-tcl \
                --with-tclconfig=/usr/lib/tcl8.3 \
                --with-tkconfig=/usr/lib/tk8.3 \
                ...

The pathnames on your system are probably different.
