Then try

  PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure

in the gtkmm directory.

The root of the problem is that pkgconfig expects the sigc++ pkgconfig
file to be in /usr/lib/pkgconfig, but since you've ./configure'd and
installed sigc++ with --prefix=/usr/local (this is the default if you
don't specify a prefix), the file ended up in
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig.

So you need to tell pkgconfig that. You do that with the above
environment variable setting. It _should_ work.
