The error message isn't helpful. Older parts of X (on i386) require
tcl/tk to build. Because openbsd ports support multiple versions of
tcl/tk the header files are put in a somewhat non-standard place.
X knows the place and this error results when it can't find them.

If you've tcl/tk installed the erropr really means that X is looking
for a different version (even though it would work fine with your
installed version).

Either install the version that X wants or edit
xc-old/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/etc/bindist/OpenBSD-ix86/host.def
so it doesn't look for tcl.
