This looks to be related to bug 128326, but I cannot see why the previous patch has ceased to work. >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking Tk-804.027.tar.gz to /dev/shm/portage/dev-perl/perl-tk-804.027/work * Applying xorg.patch ...

I couldn't reproduce this behavior. Are you still experiencing the problem?
I had this issue in a new ppc32 chroot. It appears that the configure script checks for the basedir + /X11 for the header. On my machine, simply adding '/usr/include' to the list of directories to check fixed the problem. I've taken the liberty of adding the simple patch to CVS, hope the perl team doesn't mind!
