Arrgh.  And here I was thinking that the configure Tom was reporting was
Xastir's, not libgeotiff's.  DUH.

Yes, you can't build libgeotiff if you don't have TIFF libraries installed
first.  Install those, and be sure that the install includes headers as well
as libraries (i.e., if it were linux, you'd install -devel or -dev packages
as well as the library package.  YMMV on Mac.  On BSD, packages don't 
separate out headers and libraries that way, you get 'em both in one 
package).
