-ltiff means find libtiff (.a or .so) and link with it.

If you say you have libtiff, it might be BSD search paths...
Try

  export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib
  export CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include

(or the equivalent in your shell) and re-run configure.
I suppose you have libtiff installed from ports.  However,
it the Gtk+ 2.10.14 you are trying to install is also the
port, it should Just Work.  So where is your libtiff and
what exactly you are doing?
